DirectAdmin offers full support for the Let\u2019s Encrypt plugin. Let\u2019s Encrypt is a plugin that offers free SSL certificates for any website. You can install it in any DirectAdmin web hosting server. Let\u2019s Encrypt can offer you both wildcard and hostname based SSL certificates.<\/p>\n<h3>Steps to Install an SSL Certificate on a Domain Using DirectAdmin<\/h3>\n<p>1. Login to your DirectAdmin account.<\/p>\n<p>2. Go to the <strong>Account Manager<\/strong> section and click on <strong>SSL Certificates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ssl-certificates-min-1024x145.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"145\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. Then click on the option <strong>Free &amp; automatic certificate from Let\u2019s Encrypt<\/strong> as below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/free-automatic-certificate-option-min-1024x92.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"92\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4. In this window, you will be able to configure the settings for your free SSL certificate. Then, you have to type the desired domain name in the <strong>Common Name<\/strong> field for which you want to install SSL certificate. You can tick on <strong>Wildcard<\/strong> besides the <strong>Common Name<\/strong> field if you want the certificate to automatically work for all subdomains or URLs. Or else, select the <strong>&#8220;Let&#8217;s Encrypt Certificate Entries&#8221;<\/strong> which includes the subdomains (hostnames) on which you want the certificate to work as mentioned in the below screenshot:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11490\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ssl-certificates-page-min-1024x595.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"595\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5. The option <strong>Force SSL with https redirect<\/strong> is important to automate things. It means whenever a user browses your site with HTTP, he\/she will get redirected to HTTPS. Make sure you tick this option. Once you tick it and click on <strong>Save<\/strong> besides it, you will get a success message as below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/force-ssl-success-min-1024x92.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"92\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6.
