question How to add https in a website

[Emma Ballet]

I heard somewhere, Google updated something serious about https like a website domain should be secure, So I'm looking to know how to add https in a website?

Get SSL cert from your registrar and activate it.

Free SSL certs: https://letsencrypt.org

I would like to echo what @Domains - Wanted mentions re the free LetsEncrypt SSL certificates. I have used these via my hosting service (EcoWebHosting in UK) and they are incredibly easy to activate and seem, from my testing on multiple systems, to work just fine.

I think it is not quite up to date, but at this link you can see what registrars offer integration with LetsEncrypt. While a number of big names do not, there are many choices here:

You can of course use landers on a marketplace that offers SSL landers, or use Efty as landers if you are using their Growth or Professional plans they come with SSL (but not the basic one, I think). Details here:

Ask your web host

I would just add that if looking for SSL for a single site, like your domain main location, paying for a SSL from your registrar will not have much of an impact on your overall annual costs. However, if you have plans to develop many multi-sites, and want SSL on each, they can add up and considering one of the hosts with integration with LetsEncrypt may be wise.

With changes to Chrome notification, I think SSL is pretty well essential, even though I still see a fair number of established sites not yet SSL secure.

Some registrars are offering packages with the SSL free for a year, although costs will come in after that.
