Ok so i am a total noob and have been trying to figure out how to get ssl activated! What i have done - Obtain certificates from - https://www.sslforfree.com/ Added my own CSR and then got a certificate. I use a free hosting through cpanel. There is an SSL/TLS manager where i could generate CSR …

did that “ca bundle” contain more than one “-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE-----” ? if not, then add both the “certificate” and the “ca bundle” combined - so it does contain more than one “-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE-----”

yes i do have it, but when i try and paste the ca bundle into certificate i get an error saying - The certificate uploaded is NOT for the domain name

ok added both and got an error - It appears this certificate is in pem format / requires intermediates to function, this is not supported on free hosting. :frowning:

If your host doesn’t support it, then I can’t help a lot I’m afraid. You need to talk to your host (or move to one that does).

Any idea of a free host that supports ssl! Got ya man thanks a ton :slight_smile:

I checked every single host and none are free :frowning: If you could recommend any or should i end the hunt and just go for something paid?

I don’t know your exact requirements - you could try one like onesite.co - I haven’t used them myself, but it’s free hosting that support Let’s Encrypt certs and use cpanel.

Ok awesome will try it out :slight_smile: Honestly completely new to this and just need that secure padlock in green and need to be able to upload my website :stuck_out_tongue: :slight_smile: But thanks a lot you have been more then helpful already and i really appreciate your time :slight_smile:

Hey serverco, I have made an account and been successful with the lets encrypt plugin but it still shows a unsecured warning in older android devices . after change of host my certificate has been upgraded to an A- and the chains issues have disappeared. please help Thanks :slight_smile:

You need a dedicated IP address for your domain if you want older devices that don’t support SNI to work.

Have a look at the list of hosts who support Let’s Encrypt There are a number of “free” hosts there.
