In this article we describe how you can create a free Lets Encrypt certificate. You should secure all your domains with an SSL certificate so that the data is always encrypted when transferred over the Internet.
- Log in to the Plesk web interface.
- Find the domain you want to secure and click on “SSL/TLS Certificates“.
- Click on “Use for free” to protect the domain with Lets Encrypt.
- In the dialog that opens, enter your email address and click “Use for free“. The setup may take a few moments.
- If everything worked, you will get the message “The SSL/TLS certificate has been installed on Meine-Webseite.de“.
Alternatively, you can request a wildcard Let’s Encrypt certificate that is valid for all subdomains. This way you only have to use one certificate if you use multiple subdomains for one domain.
