Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help.

If you are on a shared hosting platform like cPanel or Plesk, then you don't want to use Certbot. It probably won't work. Plesk supports Let's Encrypt certificates as part of its built-in functionality: Let’s Encrypt Integration With Plesk . The first thing I would do is ask your web host whether th…

@_az Thank you, I haven't been able to access Plesk yet but I doubt the certificate would be enabled due to Arvixe charging for them. As mentioned above, I haven't found another hosting company that offers me what I'm looking for at a reasonable rate. (I gave up after researching about 20 companies…

Not sure this is helpful but LE have a list of suggestions. See the link in the Without Shell Access topic [image] Getting Started - Let's Encrypt To enable HTTPS on your website, you need to get a certificate (a type of file) from a Certificate Authority (CA). Let’s Encrypt is a CA. I…

@MikeMcQ thank you, this is where I started.

@griffin before I got very far into the article I noticed I don't have IPv6 (based on https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=brentwoodestateshoa.com ), my PHP is out of date, and I'm using Plesk not cPanel. I updated my PHP to 7.4.6. Does it matter if it's cPanel or Plesk?

Nope. :slightly_smiling_face: CertSage is optimally configured for use with cPanel, but CertSage should be able to acquire (but not install) a certificate on any type of hosting so long as the PHP version is adequate.

@griffin Why can't CertSage "install" on Plesk? Is that something I do manually? I noticed I can upload certs, keys, etc.

The certificate installation button in CertSage makes cPanel API calls, which obviously won't work in Plesk. You will need install your cert and its private key manually.
