TheOpenHost provides two options for SSL certificates, free “Let’s Encrypt” certificates and commercial “RapidSSL” certificates.

Let’s Encrypt

Let’s Encrypt is a certificate authority that provides free SSL certificates, accepted by most browsers. While they provide security and authenticity when accessing your site over SSL, they do not provide end-user warranties or the additional features of commercial certificates.

For a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, just login to your hosting Control Panel and click on the SSL tab and then follow the procedure there.

RapidSSL

For a RapidSSL (a commercial certificate), you can purchase online from our partner site CiviHosting: SSL Purchase. Just purchase online there and we will receive the SSL when it’;s ready and install it for you.
