How do I install an SSL security certificate in DirectAdmin?

Learn how to activate your SSL security certificate in DirectAdmin and increase visitor trust. Protect your site and improve your SEO with this simple tutorial.

Let's see how to install a security certificate on your hosting service running on DirectAdmin servers. This is a process you can do without any help from our technical team — simply go to your control panel and navigate to the SSL Certificates section. Select the option that says «free and automatic certification let's encrypt» to install a free certificate. It is a fully valid and functional certificate. You also have other options for creating different types of certificates — perhaps a paid one you prefer for some reason — but since 99% of users will use this option, we focus on it here. There is very little to configure: you can optionally check the box to include all your subdomains and then click Save. It will take a moment while the certificate is installed — just a few seconds. Once done, if everything appears in green, the installation was successful. If it shows in red, contact our support team at ayuda@bacan.com. That's the whole process — simple and something you can do without our help. If you're not a client yet, welcome — we're eager to help you with your hosting service needs.
