How to easily enable Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates in cPanel
Britain Connected has been supporting the global initiative to create free SSL certificates for everybody Let's Encrypt almost from its beginning. Now, we automatically issue and install a free certificate for the majority of the domains that are pointed to our shared servers and we allow one click installation for domains on cloud and dedicated accounts.
How to see the Let's Encrypt certificated issued for your account?

Now you just need to configure your application to work via https:// to start using the certificate on your site.

How to enforce the certificate on your site?
Issuing a certificate is just a first step in making your website work properly over HTTPS. You usually need some additional configuration so that your domain is not accessible both over http and https, to avoid duplicate content. Additionally you may need to rewrite any links to external content, so that your site does not show warnings for mixed content in the browser. The best way to do this changes are in your specific application, but if you are not sure how, we have created a shortcut in the Lert’s Encrypt interface that allows you to both enforce the certificate and rewrite the links with a single click(more details in our blog).
