If you’re looking to get a free SSL certificate from GoDaddy, you’ll first need to create a new account. Once you have an account, you’ll need to click on the “My Account” tab and select the “SSL” tab. From here, you’ll need to click on the “Get a Certificate” button. This will take you to the “Certificate Request” page. On this page, you’ll need to provide your name, email address, and the domain name that you want to get a certificate for. You’ll also need to provide your credit card information, as GoDaddy will charge $9.95 for each certificate that you purchase. Once you have completed the information on the “Certificate Request” page, you’ll need to click on the “Submit” button. This will take you to the “Certificate Request Status” page. On this page, you’ll need to click on the “Download Certificate” button. This will download the certificate file to your computer. You’ll then need to double-click on the certificate file to open it. You’ll need to click on the “Apply” button to apply the certificate to your website. Once you have applied the certificate, you’ll need to click on the “SSL” tab and click on the “View Certificate” button. This will take you to the “SSL Certificate” page. From here, you’ll need to click on the “Certificate Details” button and you’ll will be able to see the details of the certificate that you have applied.

You’ll also be able to see the “Serial Number” and “Thumbprint” of the certificate. The “Serial Number” is the number that you will need to input into your web browser when you want to connect to your website using SSL. The “Thumbprint” is a unique number that you will need to input into your web browser when you want to verify the authenticity of the certificate. Once you have completed viewing the certificate details, you’ll need to click on the “Close” button. This will close the “Certificate Request” page. You will then need to click on the “SSL” tab and click on the “View Certificate” button again. This time, you’ll be able to see the “SSL Certificate” page again. From here, you’ll need to click on the “Certificate Details” button and you will be able to see the “Status” of the certificate. The “Status” will indicate whether or not the certificate has been approved. The “Status” can be one of the following: “Approved”, “Pending”, or “Declined”. If the “Status” is “Approved”, then you will be able to see the “Expiration Date” and the “Valid From” date. The “Expiration Date” is the date that the certificate will expire and the “Valid From” date is the date that the certificate will be valid. If the “Status” is “Pending”, then the certificate has not yet been approved and the “Expiration Date” and “Valid From” date will not be displayed. If the “Status” is “Declined”, then the certificate has been rejected and you will not be able to see the “Expiration Date” or the “Valid From” date. You will also not be able to view the “Thumbprint” of the certificate. The “Conclusion” section of this article will provide you with instructions on how to install the certificate on your website. .

PRO TIP: Warning: GoDaddy does not currently offer free SSL certificates. Any website promising to provide a free SSL certificate from GoDaddy is likely a scam.

In conclusion, if you’re looking to get a free SSL certificate from GoDaddy, you’ll first need to create a new account.

This will take you to the “Certificate Request Status” page.
