Free SSL Certificate for GoDaddy in 2020 [Updated] – Install letsencrypt SSL
I will show you how to Install a free Godaddy SSL Certificate using LetsEncrypt and an online tool called SSL Certificate Generator that I build. This will secure your website and get rid of those warnings and get you https URL in 10 minutes. Buy me a coffee ☕
SSL Certificate Generator:
Wildcard SSL:
I’ll be using Godaddy, but this free SSL will work on any web hosting with cPanel. In addition, I will show you how to always redirect users from http to https using just a few lines of code, so that they can always see the secured site.
If you get tired of renewing the SSL certificate every 90 days, then you can buy it from Namecheap for about $9/year and you only need to renew it once a year.
Here is how to do that:

I bought a ssl from godaddy and I was dealing with issues to install it what never worked, so complicated.
I installed with you in this video and it took me a couple minutes.. easy peasy 🙌🏼
hey, Thanks for the tutorial
when i am redirecting the site using htaccess it is working
But now the url is showing like this
https://domain name/wp-content/cache/all/index.html
instead of just https://domain name.com/
is this due to cache plugin i have used?
does it create any problem with google ranking
Thanks in Advance
