Part 4 of 4 of SSL for Newbies
There are two ways to obtain an SSL Certificate for your website. You may obtain the SSL Certificate from HostGator, and we will install it for you for free, or you may obtain an SSL Certificate elsewhere, and we will install it for a $10 fee (in most cases).
Purchasing an SSL Certificate from HostGator expedites the process, and requires fewer steps. Purchasing an SSL Certificate elsewhere requires more time because it involves some additional steps.
Here are several options:
-
Free SSL Certificate with Business or Enterprise Plan
-
Order a Private SSL Certificate
-
Order a Wildcard or Multi-Domain or EV SSL Certificate
-
Install an SSL Certificate Purchased Elsewhere
-
Use the Shared SSL Certificate
Business or Enterprise Hosting - Free Private SSL Included
Request Your FREE SSL Certificate for your Business or Enterprise Hosting Package
Business and Enterprise Hosting Packages include a free Private SSL Certificate. To request your free SSL Certificate, please fill out the Free Private SSL Form.
(If you have a Hatchling, Baby or Personal Plan, you may upgrade your account to take advantage of the Free Private SSL Certificate by using our Upgrade Form. Once your account has been upgraded, please submit the Free Private SSL Form.)
