  6. Click "Encrypt" and you are done! Now your domain should work with https and the Let’s Encrypt is installed.


  7. You can test your site with https at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html
    If your score gets below A, we would very much like a feedback as we strive to always keep the service as good as possible.


  8. If you do like your page with https to be loaded from the same directory (public_html) as without, you can follow this guide to create private_html as a symlink to your public_html directory.
