How To Add SSL Certificate In Godaddy (Quick & Easy) !

Adding an SSL certificate to your GoDaddy account is crucial for securing your website and ensuring that visitors' data is encrypted. An SSL certificate not only protects sensitive information but also boosts your site's credibility and improves its search engine rankings. Follow this step-by-step guide to add an SSL certificate to your GoDaddy-hosted website.

To start, log into your GoDaddy account by visiting the GoDaddy website and entering your credentials. Once logged in, you'll be directed to the homepage. Before proceeding, ensure you’ve either purchased an SSL certificate or subscribed to a GoDaddy plan that includes one. If you haven’t yet, you can purchase an SSL certificate directly through GoDaddy.

Navigate to the top menu and select "Web Security" under the "Website and Hosting" section. From here, explore the different SSL certificate plans available. Choose the plan that best suits your needs and budget. Click "See Plan" to proceed, review the details, and finalize your purchase.

Once you’ve purchased the SSL certificate, return to your GoDaddy account homepage. Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "My Products." In the "My Products" section, locate the SSL certificate you purchased. If this is your first SSL setup, you may see a prompt to "Add SSL Certificate." Click on this option to begin the process.

Next, identify the domain to which you want to apply the SSL certificate. Copy your domain name from your GoDaddy account and paste it into the required field during the setup process. GoDaddy’s interface will guide you through the verification steps, which may include confirming domain ownership. Follow the prompts to complete the configuration.

Once the SSL certificate is added and verified, it will be applied to your website. Depending on your hosting plan, this process might take a few minutes to complete. After installation, your website will display a secure padlock icon in the browser’s address bar, indicating that the SSL certificate is active.
