How to Enable SSL in Hostinger
Welcome to Ben’s Experience! In this tutorial, I will show you how to enable SSL in Hostinger. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificates are essential for securing your website and protecting your visitors’ data. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get your SSL certificate installed on Hostinger.
Step 1: Log in to Your Hostinger Account
First, log in to your Hostinger account using your credentials. Once you’re inside, navigate to the top menu and click on “Websites.”
Step 2: Access Your Website Dashboard
From the “Websites” section, select the website you want to install the SSL certificate on. Click on “Dashboard” next to your chosen website to proceed.
Step 3: Navigate to Security Settings
On the left side menu, click on “Security.” This will open a drop-down list where you can find the “SSL” option. Click on “SSL” to continue.
Step 4: Select and Install SSL
You will see a list of websites associated with your Hostinger account. Select the website you want to enable SSL for and click on the “Install SSL” button.
Step 5: Wait for the Installation
The installation process will begin, and your SSL certificate will be installed. This process may take up to an hour, so be patient.
Step 6: Verify SSL Installation
To check if the SSL installation was successful, visit your website and look for the HTTPS in the URL instead of HTTP. This indicates that your site is now secure.
