Namecheap is a web hosting and domain name registrar company. They offer let’s encrypt SSL for free with every new domain name registration.
However, before you install let’s encrypt SSL on namecheap, please note that:
1. Let’s Encrypt certificates are only valid for 90 days. This means that you will need to renew your certificate every 3 months.
2. Your website must be accessible over HTTPS for the Let’s Encrypt verification process to work.
3. If you are using a shared hosting plan, your web host must support Let’s Encrypt in order for you to be able to install the certificate. Please check with your web host first before proceeding.
4. After installing the Let’s Encrypt certificate on Namecheap, you will need to set up a cron job to automatically renew your certificate before it expires. For more information on how to do this, please see Namecheap’s Knowledgebase article on the subject.
While installing SSL on Namecheap is simple, it’s still essential to take precautions to protect your data. Always use a secure browser when accessing your Namecheap account, and remember to never provide your personal information to anyone you don’t trust.
