Move you site form HTTP to HTTPS using Let’s Encrypt. Securing your website is not only a good idea it is necessary for your website.
After many reports reported about website hijack or web attack, the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) started the Let’s Encrypt project in 2015 to make it easy for everyone to secure their websites without any cost. When I started my project on GoDaddy I decided to add Let’s Encrypt SSL on my website. Now I am going to tell you how you can add Let’s Encrypt a free SSL on your website.
Step 1
First, we need to create two folders with the following name on the root [public_html]. You can create these folders using FileZilla.
You might not be able to create the first folder using a browser. So, open FileZilla and create first folder .well-known in this folder create another folder name acme-challenge. Now Clik here you will see below screen.
ZeroSSL
In this enter your domain name with comma separated. As you can see I entered learncodeweb.com and www.learncodeweb.com because I want to create SSL for both links. Now, after accepting ZeroSSL TOS and Let’s Encrypt agreement click on the NEXT button.
Step 2
Generating CSR message will appear. Once the CSR is created the below screen will appear. You just need to download CSR file by clicking on the download button.

Step 3
After downloading the CSR file click on the NEXT button a Generating account key message will appear and the below screen will come.

Now you need to download this key too by clicking on the download button. Then click on the NEXT button. The below screen will appear.

Now you need to verify your website and host download these keys and past into acme-challenge folder.
Step 4
After pasting these keys into the mentioned folder click on the key a white page with the key will appear.
If you can not see a blank page with the key then you did wrong something or missed.
Step 5
After that click on the Next button below screen will appear.

Download the certificate and the private key and open your GoDaddy Cpanel to install this certificate.
