How to install an SSL certificate on ASP.NET hosting
- Go to your client area to the “Services – My Services” section and click the “Open Plesk” button;
- The Plesk panel will be opened. Go to the “Websites & Domains” section and select the domain for which you want to install a free SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt and click the button “Let’s Encrypt”:
- Specify the email address that will be used for urgent notices and lost key recovery. By default, the email address of the subscription owner is used;
- Specify if you want to include an alternative domain name for the domain and each selected alias, for example: www.example.com for example.com. We recommend that you select this checkbox;
- Specify if you want to include webmail, for example, webmail.example.com. We recommend that you select this checkbox;
- If there are domain aliases, select the ones that you want to include in the certificate;
- Click the “Install” button to get and install the Let’s Encrypt certificate for the subscription;
- If you want to secure your website with an SSL certificate, you can use a certificate you already own. Go to the “Websites & Domains” section and select the domain for which you want to install the certificate and click the button “SSL/TLS Certificates” -> “Add SSL/TLS Certificate”;
- Type in the certificate name (you will use it to identify the certificate in the list of all certificates), then upload it as described below:
- If you store the certificate in the form of the *.key and the *.crt files, scroll down to the Upload the certificate files section and upload the files. If both the certificate and the private key parts of your certificate are contained in a *.pem file, just upload it twice, both as the private key and the certificate;
- If you store the certificate as text, scroll down to the Upload the certificate as text section and paste the certificate and the private key parts into the corresponding fields;
- Click the “Upload Certificate” button when you have finished.
