Enable a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate in DirectAdmin

DirectAdmin issues free certificates over the ACME protocol from providers such as Let's Encrypt and renews them automatically.

Steps

  1. 1

    Make sure the domain points to your hosting server (check with the DNS lookup tool).

  2. 2

    In DirectAdmin open “SSL Certificates” (under Account Manager or Domain Setup depending on the skin).

  3. 3

    Choose the free automatic certificate from an ACME provider and select Let's Encrypt.

  4. 4

    Select the domain and its www, then click “Save”.

  5. 5

    Check it with the SSL checker to confirm it is valid and matches the domain.

Notes

  • Let's Encrypt certificates are valid for 90 days and renew automatically before expiry.
