I am on your site [Let's Encrypt Certificates on GoDaddy Hosting - Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/godaddy/) But when I am on Godaddy I was Chatting with the AI bot basically you follow 6 easy steps 1. Log in to your cPanel account 2. Find the "Security" section 3. Click on "SSL/TLS" 4. Select "Let's Encrypt SSL" 5. Choose the domain you want to secure 6. Click "Issue" to generate the certificate ---

Does that actually work? ---

My understanding (which may be outdated) is that GoDaddy offers several hosting plans. On some of them, automatically getting a certificate through their system is included and works great, but on the cheaper ones it's not included. That's the use case for something like CertSage, since their system supports installing a certificate, they just don't include the one-button-to-make-it-easy, since they hope that would incentivize you to upgrade to their other plans. Certainly, if any hosting company makes it easy and an already-included-cost to secure a site, one should just use that, and ideally all hosting companies would just do so. ---

I am on shared Ultimate hosting, unlimited storage. I was just told that there is another Ultimate hosting with 75GB limit but free SSL I just gave the go ahead on that, so in 24hrs I will see if this worked the article will be [Install an SSL using AutoSSL on my Web Hosting (cPanel) | Web Hosting (cPanel) - GoDaddy Help US](https://www.godaddy.com/help/install-an-ssl-using-autossl-on-my-web-hosting-cpanel-41641) ---

As @petercooperjr referenced, at present, if you have any GoDaddy hosting plan above the lowest tier then AutoSSL is included with your hosting plan. Some still find [CertSage](https://certsage.com) to be more user friendly, so it's up to you. This tutorial I wrote for using CertSage with multiple domain names might prove useful for better understanding how cPanel works with multiple domain names even if you end up using AutoSSL: > [@How To Use CertSage with Multiple Domain Names Hosted within a Single cPanel Account](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/how-to-use-certsage-with-multiple-domain-names-hosted-within-a-single-cpanel-account/234635): > > 1… ---

So after the shared hosting "upgrade" I now have in the control Panel - SSL/TLS Status the option to run "Run AutoSSL" I just uninstalled a SSL cert on an existing domain because I had less then 30 days, then I used the "Run AutoSSL" and within 1min I now have Let's encrypt going ---
