How To Install SSL Certificate and Get HTTPS

Domain names for just 88 cents!

Starting this July, Chrome will mark all non-HTTPS nets as unsafe webs to open. Actually, not a new thing for internet users in general (get a warning). But imagine if this is enforced and the web owners neglect to embed SSL on their web. How many visitors will avoid their web? I started to use HTTPS when I get into trouble in taking care of something with HTTP web. I didn't know how to install SSL certificate and get HTTPS back then.

At that time I was upset because I constantly got the warning every time I switch to another page in PLESK. I did not get a satisfactory answer from my previous hosting provider.


Then I decided to move one of my website to Namecheap while leaving the other one on the old provider. Namecheap made the migration easy and fast. In my story, I was able to write my next article in the next day.

Need website builder? Consider one of these.

Wanna Know How To Install SSL Certificate and Get HTTPS for your website?

First, you need CPanel. Since you're reading this, I assume that you already have at least one active website. We have different approaches to install SSL and get HTTPS. You can use our domain/hosting technician help (which is more comfortable and risk-free), or you can install it yourself.

If you're like me, having subdomains, you might want to try installing SSL yourself at least once so you can get familiar with the space you're working on.

Want your website looks like this? Choose this theme.

   

Make sure you have your CPanel username and password. If you lose it, you can check the first emails you got from your domain/hosting provider. Look for the information there. Or... just ask for a new password.

 

Let's Secure Our Site With SSL Certificate

  1. Open your CPanel by going to http://change-this-to-your-website-address/cpanel
  2. Go To Exclusive For Namecheap Customers, then choose Namecheap SSL
  3. If this is your first time, you can click "Support" on the upper right on your page, next to your Login information. And ask Namecheap technician to get you the SSL certificate.
  4. If you are coming here after you're creating a subdomain, you will see your subdomain with green buttons to install, reinstall and remove your Free SSL certificate.
  5. If you waited more than 15 minutes and your HTTP site, not HTTPS yet, you can click the "Sync with Namecheap" button to re-trigger the process.

Your secure website is running? Try these tips to monetize it.

So, that's How To Install SSL Certificate and Get HTTPS. Looking forward to visiting your safe website.

People’s Appreciation to Perspective

Have you realized that the people pay more appreciation about perspective today than ever? Thank’s to the trend of front camera. Started about ten years ago, the internet is getting populated by selfies. Made for friends or for self-collection. What does it have to do with perspective?  Well, people tend to look skinnier, prettier etc (according to them) when the photo was taken on a high angle.  You know that the further the subject to the lens, the smaller it becomes. No need a week in physics class to teach us that. So, have you made a selfie today? Some Kardashian thing?

How To Make A Blog to Z Blog - Pun Intended

How To Make A Blog to Z Blog - Pun Intended Writing a blog becomes a fun activity choice for those who can do it and know even the most basic principle of how to start a blog. Do you know how hard it is when you are asked to write something for a minimum of 900 words when you are more fond of doing everything using a TV remote or a tomahawk ? If you want to read the quite long intro, unlock the line paragraphs by sharing it. To yourself is fine. [sociallocker] The more popular example is, remember that Bart Simpson always had to write different things on the chalk board in each episode as a punishment ? So, for those who say that writing is light work ... it's true. The pen is lightweight, the keyboard is also light, but it will feel heavy if one of the three basic elements is weak: brain - translator - interpretation embodiment - motoric. The brain to reason and find what ideas to write. Yeah, you can copy it from here and there, but Google is smarter than you for that...
