Hello everyone, in this video I showed you how to install a free SSL certificate on a website hosted on DreamHost using Let’s Encrypt. My site was showing “Not Secure”, so I logged into the DreamHost panel (panel.dreamhost.com), opened the “Secure Certificates” section, and picked the domain that didn’t have SSL added yet. The main point here is: I’m not using any third-party or unofficial script—DreamHost itself provides the free Let’s Encrypt option, and it’s super straightforward. I also explained the two SSL options you’ll see inside DreamHost: Let’s Encrypt (free, nonprofit CA, and auto-renews for free) and the Domain Verified SSL (paid, mostly branding + a $10,000 fraud transaction warranty). Functionality-wise, in my testing both look and work the same for most normal websites, so if you’re a beginner or you just want HTTPS enabled quickly, I recommend Let’s Encrypt. After placing the order, you just wait a few minutes, then refresh (I even check in incognito to avoid cache), and you’ll see the connection becomes secure with a valid Let’s Encrypt certificate.
