Install a Free SSL Certificate from Let's Encrypt on a Website
This guide explains how to install a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt on a website hosted by Infomaniak.
To make the installation possible, the DNS of the domain name must be correctly configured to point to the specific website. If a recent change has been made at this level, some operations may not work immediately.
Installing a Free SSL Certificate on a Website
To access Web Hosting and install an SSL certificate:
- Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Firefox
- Click on the icon at the top right of the interface (or navigate using the left sidebar menu, for example)
- Choose Website (under Web & Domain)
- Click on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
- Click on SSL Certificates in the left sidebar menu
- Click the blue Install an SSL certificate button
- Choose the site where the certificate should be installed
- Select Free SSL Certificates and click Save
- You will receive a confirmation email when the SSL certificate is installed
Once the certificate is installed, your website will be accessible via both http and https. If necessary, redirect all your visitors automatically to the secure https site.
If you want to include a recently added alias domain to your site that already had a certificate, you need to update it.
For multiple subdomains, refer to this guide (click here).
Limitations
Let's Encrypt limits certificate installations to:
- 100 subdomains
- 20 certificates per registered domain in 7 days
- 5 failed requests per account per hostname per hour
