			Securing your website is a key step increasing your site's visibility to search engines and during marketing campaigns. While a free SSL certificate doesn't offer the same liability coverage that a paid SSL certificate can offer, it is still useful for websites that don't collect data. Should your site need to collect customer information, please reach out to [https://xmission.com/contact XMission's Sales team] for more information about ordering a paid SSL certificate.

	Let's Encrypt is a free SSL/CA service created by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). It allows its users to create their own SSL/TLS certificate to have secure HTTPS connections to their websites through a free service in their Shared Hosting panel. If you would like to know more about the ISRG or the Let's Encrypt product, please see [https://letsencrypt.org/about/ letsencrypt].

	* '''~~Secure~~ the domain ~~name~~''' - ~~Keep this checked~~ to ~~secure your base domain~~.		'''6.''' Let's Encrypt verifies the certificate by using DNS, so waiting on propagation is necessary. It is possible to review your domain's DNS propagation using various online services such as [https://whatsmydns.net WhatsMyDNS.Net] and then searching the '''_acme-challenge.'''''yourdomain.tld'' TXT record to see if the rest of the world can see the record.
	* ''' ~~Secure~~ the ~~wildcard domain~~''' - ~~If you have subdomains you wish~~ to ~~have covered by~~ the certificate, ~~check this box~~.		: '''Note''': DNS commonly goes live in under an hour, but potentially can take up to 24-48 hours to go live globally. Especially if there was a previous record it is replacing and the previous records TTL needs to expire.
	* '''~~Include a~~ '~~www~~' ~~subdomain for~~ the ~~domain~~''' - ~~If you wish~~ to ~~have your www website covered by~~ the certificate, ~~check this box~~.		* Once the '''_acme-challenge.'''''yourdomain.tld'' TXT record has been confirmed serving, click '''Reload''' to finalize the Let's Encrypt certificate generation.

			* '''SSL/TLS support''': Allows the website to be able to use the certificate.
			* '''Permanent SEO-safe 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS''': Any attempts to load the site without the SSL certificate (over HTTP) will be automatically redirected to the secure version of the page. (over HTTPS)
			* '''Certificate''': The default repository is for the certificate Plesk loads which ''will not work for general purposes''. Select the name matching your Let's Encrypt installation process.

	5. ~~Click "Get~~ it ~~free"~~		'''Note''': After completion you will be given a message that states it has saved properly. This indicates the server has marked the change to be implanted to your Apache & Nginx configuration. A regularly occurring CRON job will implement the change within five minutes. You will notice the website briefly give an HTTP 502 error, then it will load the new certificate properly. In case it gets stuck, please contact our 24/7 support team for assistance restarting the related server processes to force it to go live.
