Free SSL (https) certificate via ZeroSSL

Since Nadia's https://solotempehnj.com/ website creation, I've been using ZeroSSL's free SSL certificate. They provide easy instruction for implementing their 90-day free certificate on GoDaddy. I am just not sure if their limit for 3 free certificates has unlimited renewals or not.

It's as easy as:

  1. Sign up free account on ZeroSSL, where you are allowed 3 such free 90-day certificates.
  2. Use one of the 3 methods to implement your domain, I chose DNS CNAME method: copy/paste data from your new ZeroSSL certification creation site to Godaddy's DNS record.
  3. Download The Certificate from ZeroSSL generated site, and unzip the zipped file.
  4. Follow ZeroSSL provided instruction for GoDaddy users to install (video instruction) the certificate on GoDaddy via its CPanel-> Security-> SSL/TLS. Upload certificate.crt file, copy/paste content of private.key, accordingly.
  5. ZeroSSL has a button to check if everything is installed properly. Once done, the browser will no longer gives that "not secure" warning for users upon site visit.
