My hosting provider (Irish Company) is, ‘register 365’ (register365.com) and I only upgraded to a cPanel hosting account last week.
After asking for their help, they said, in order for me to use Let’s Encrypt, I have to upload all my files from their hosting platform to cPanel. I haven’t a clue how to do this. They want to charge me €60 to do all that, and add my domains to cPanel also.
That’s question number 1; Do I need to upload all my files to cPanel to use Let’s Encrypt?
And Question 2:
Is there any dummy version on how to install Let’s Encrypt then to cPanel as I’m lost for that too. I haven’t a clue how to log in as root/SSH or whatever that means! I use a macbook.
Apologies for the complete newbie-ness.
I’m not sure what to share with you to find out more info, but here’s my cpanel info;
However, please note that if you use cPanel hosting without autossl / fleetssl installed on the server, you would need to manually renew your certificate once per 90 days.
Is there any downside to me transferring my files all over to cPanel?
If this won’t do anything to my website(s) - I may as well just pay my hosting provider to change them over? And ensure the domains point to that server too.
Once that’s complete, I can follow your steps then above.
