Free SSL Certificate on GoDaddy Shared Hosting

An update to this post can be found here . Shared hosting is still the easiest and cheapest for those who do LAMP. And now if the hosting uses cPanel then it can host your domains with free SSL certificates. You can get free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt . And you can get them faster from SSL For Free . Let's go to the  SSL For Free  website. Your domains will be running on free SSL certificates by following these three steps. Enter your domain names in the field shown on the front page of the site, and click Create Fre e SSL Ceritificate . The first step is to verify your domain names. You will be given 3 options: Automatic FTP Verification , Manual Verification , and Manual Verification (DNS) . I prefer the second option to the others,  Manual Verification, because it is non intrusive and I don't have to give away any of my password. The verification is required by SSL For Free to ensure that you truly own the domain names and have a host for each of them.
