I am wondering how I can go about generating certificates (and or keys and or whatever else might be necessary) locally in order to upload the files to my shared hosting provider, so that I can install additional SSL certificates beyond the free ones that were provided. I can’t seem to find a “download” button anywhere on the CertBot website. How can I download CertBot and generate some certificates? I’m running Windows 10. Is this possible to do on Windows?
