But if you’ve only got a few minutes, we’ll give you a quick one-minute guide for creating your own free SSL certificates in just a few clicks. Welcome to Let’s Encrypt – one of our best-rated Plesk extensions. This certificate authority (CA) gives all Plesk users the power to get a free certificate for each domain they own.

Let’s Encrypt: Protect your website in 3 steps

In our final security video, you’ll see how this handy Plesk extension makes you more reliable. Because with Let’s Encrypt, you’re not just encrypting the connection between the website and the visitor’s browser. You’re also displaying your website as trusted.

As a result, visitors will not see a warning about the certificate’s authenticity. This tops self-signed certificates (free but not trusted), especially when securing an E-commerce website.

Let’s Encrypt not only issues free SSL certificates, but also provides the tools to recall and renew them. Something that should save system administrators loads of time and effort.
