you explained and this worked like a ninja, Thanks a ton.
I am getting 404 not found after placing the files into webroot/.well-known/acme-challenge/

These instructions are great! It makes setting up SSL on GoDaddy cPanel super easy. Thanks!
Really simple and helpful video .. Thanks a lott !!

You need to edit the .htaccess file to automatically redirect to https instead of having to type it in manually
Thanks it worked like a charm!
