WordPress customers now only need to install OSE Free SSL WordPress plugin, by entering your email address and a few clicks, to have their SSL certificates generated and delivered to their selected email address.<\/p>\n\n<p>Let\u2019s Encrypt is a free and fully automated certificate authority (CA) available for the benefit of all websites on the Internet. They provide, for free, a certificate to enable HTTPS (SSL\/TLS) for websites in the aim of creating a more secure and privacy-respecting Web.<\/p>\n\n<p>Using the plugin, you can quickly generate new certificates for your site, and install the free SSL certificates through your cPanel or Plesk management panel, then you can simply switch your website into HTTPS with plugins like Really Simple SSL or Force HTTPS.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Let\u2019s Encrypt service only provides certificates that are valid for 90 days. However, they can be always renewed - no limitations there.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Benefits<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>FREE: Anyone who owns a domain name and a WordPress website can use OSE Free SSL plugin to obtain a trusted certificate from Let\u2019s Encrypt and turn on https protocol at zero cost.<\/li>\n<li>AUTOMATIC: The entire enrollment process for certificates occurs painlessly during OSE server\u2019s native configuration process. You do not need to do anything.<\/li>\n<li>SIMPLE: There\u2019s no payment, no validation emails, just a few clicks, the SSL certificates are directly delivered to your email.<\/li>\n<li>GOOGLE &amp; SEO: Since Jan 2018, Google flagged any website that doesn\u2019t have SSL certification (e.g. using valid https protocol) to show a \u2018Not Secure\u2019 message. OSE Free SSL plugin helps you avoid that.<\/li>\n<li>SECURE: Let\u2019s Encrypt will serve as a platform for advancing TLS security best practices, both on the CA side and by helping site operators properly secure their servers.<\/li>\n<li>TRUST: Displayed with a security padlock in the address bar of the browser indicates the connection is secure and show your website\u2019s visitors that you take their privacy seriously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<p>PREREQUISITES<\/p>\n\n<p>PHP version 5.3+.\ncURL and OpenSSL extensions in PHP\nWhen using FTP mode, an FTP account with the access to \/public_html\/.well-known (for cpanel) or \/httpdocs\/.well-known (for plesk).<\/p>\n\n<p>INSTALLATION<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li><p>Install through Plugins Menu\nSearch \u201cOSE Free SSL\u201d in the plugin menu then install and activate it.
