How to add SSL to WordPress on Vultr

Did you know that Vultr is a founding member of Let’s Encrypt free SSL? In other words, installing SSL to WordPress on a Vultr server is a piece of cake.

Our experts have put together this simple guide to help you out:

1. First, we have to log in to our Vultr account.
2. Then, navigate to Products and select our server.
3. After that, locate the Control Panel login details or type the IP address followed by “:9090” in a new tab.
4. Next, we have to log in with the root and password.
5. Now, we have to click Terminal in the left-hand pane.
6. After that, we have to SSH to the server and run Certbot. For instance:

   # certbot --nginx --redirect -d bobcares.com -d www.bobcares.com -m admin@bobcares .com –agree-tos

   • –nginx

     Utilize the Nginx web server

   • –redirect

     Redirects HTTP requests to HTTPS.

   • -d bobcares.com -d www.bobcares.com

     This installs a multiple-domain certificate. Hence we can use up to a hundred -d domain entries.

   • -m admin@bobcares .com

     This is the notification email address for this specific certificate.

   • –agree-tos

     This indicates we agree to the terms of service.

Furthermore, we have to ensure that Let’s Encrypt certificates are renewed automatically every 90 days. This can be easily done via the certbot wizard. However, if we have an older version of 1-click WordPress, we will have to download and install the certbot package.
