How do I install a Lets Encrypt SSL for my website or email in SatServer?

What is Let's Encrypt:

Let's Encrypt is a free issuer for SSL certificates.
An SSL certificate ensures that traffic runs over a secure connection.
For example, an SSL certificate can be installed for the Web server so that your Web site runs over a secure (https) connection. You will then see a lock icon in the Web browser.
Especially when you work with sensitive information, such as personal data, login information or payment information, it is mandatory to run traffic over a secure connection.
A secure connection ensures that no man in the middle attack takes place.
This means that if a hacker has a program to read the traffic, the hacker cannot read the content.

What other options do I have?
Instead of using Let's Encrypt, you can also purchase a paid certificate.
The advantage of a paid certificate is that it is issued by a trusted authority that focuses on security. In addition, if there is a leak in a secure connection, the authorities guarantee for any damage, they will compensate the damage, only you must be able to prove that the hacker has obtained this through a leak in the secure connection.

How do I install a Let's Encrypt SSL on Satserver?

1.) Log into the SATserver control panel under the respective domain.

2.) Click on "Advanced" on the left side of the menu.

3.) Click on "Manage Certificates."

4.) Click the button: "Enable Let's Encrypt."

Conditions that Let's Encrypt works:

1.) The domain name must point with the ip address to the server on which lets encrypt is to be activated.
If it does not, Let's encrypt cannot perform validation, and Let's encrypt will not issue a certificate.

2.) Installation and validation can take approximately 15 minutes.

Not all of our servers support Let's Encrypt yet.
If you do not see the "Enable Let's Encrypt" button under certificate management, then Let's Encrypt is not supported on the server your website is running on.
Please contact our helpdesk at support@oxxa.com to move the website to a server that does support it.
