Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. [https://crt.sh/?q=example.com](https://crt.sh/?q=example.com)), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help. My domain is: [HTTP://timbrophily.com/](HTTP://timbrophily.com/) I ran this command: It produced this output: My web server is (include version): The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): My hosting provider, if applicable, is: AWS I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): My domain provider is [godaddy.com](http://godaddy.com) The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you’re using Certbot): ---

Hi @RohitMittal > How Can I Install An https certificate start with some basics: > **[How It Works - Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/how-it-works/)** > > The objective of Let’s Encrypt and the ACME protocol is to make it possible to set up an HTTPS server and have it automatically obtain a browser-trusted certificate, without any human intervention.

> [@RohitMittal](#): > > How Can I Install An https certificate First you obtain it, following instructions in the post above mine, then you install it following the instructions in your software's documentation. Each software has different configuration options, we can't know them all. If you are lucky, you are using some that can be configured automatically by certbot. If you aren't, read the documentation for your software (and eventually script the install so that certbot can do it itself on renewals with `--deploy-hook` -- look around, maybe somebody already has written a script for your software.) ---

Thanks for responding. But the information shared is completely out of my comprehension power. I failed at running a certbot check. Is there a document in simple english that outlines the procedure for domains provided by GoDaddy and hosted on AWS? ---

What Operating System and Webserver are you running? If you know, [go here](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions); if you don’t… you should learn how to run a linux machine first. ---

I am not on a Linux Machine. I use Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit. What is not clear in my question? I have clearly shared the below info My domain is provided by GoDaddy - [timbrophily.com](http://timbrophily.com) It is hosted on - AWS I am using it for blogging purpose via WordPress. I want to secure my blog with a https certificate. As simple as that. And for sure it can’t be simpler than that. I guess you need to learn how to communicate first in English. ---

> [@RohitMittal](#): > > I am not on a Linux Machine. I use Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit. It's irrelevant what you use on your laptop/desktop. What Operating System is running on the machine you are renting on AWS? > [@RohitMittal](#): > > It is hosted on - AWS > I am using it for blogging purpose via WordPress. Any chance you're using a bitnami image? If you know how to login on a shell via ssh or the AWS website, run `ls -la /opt` and tell us what's the output. ---

I can login to the aws console that I used to point my domain to the aws hosting. Will that help? If yes what information should I look for? ---
