How to setup FreeSSL in subdomain?

I’m Abuabdellah and this is my 1st post on the forum, peace be upon those who follow guidance.

My website URL is:

http://umbracian.epizy.com

What I’m seeing is:

What are the required steps to integrate the SSL?

I’m not too sure, but it might not be possible to have SSL if you’re using a free subdomain (e.g. example.epizy.com), as you don’t own the actual epizy.com domain.

If you ever get a paid domain name, I can personally recommend using CloudFlare for a free SSL, which I think is free forever.

That website seems to require you to set a CNAME record on the main epizy.com domain name. I’m sorry, but that domain name is ours, and we cannot let you verify our entire domain to issue SSL certificates for (that would be a huge security problem for other customers).

Maybe this website has other validation methods which you could try instead?

Or, like @Kamdroid said, you could go for a custom domain name. This will make it easier to get SSL for, both through Cloudflare and through other providers.

If you “own” your domain, you can add SSL to your subdomains too, with Cloudflare.

I suggest to keep discussion on that provider only, and using subdomain as provided Free 0$ from InfinityFree.

Alright. enter here in cPanel > SSL/TLS:

clic and go to this:

Click on “configure” and try to put this:


on this:

if dont work, forget that and just activate the “Cloudflare” integration here in cPanel:

clic:

Wait atleast 24hours for propagation, and you’ll have the SSL. (but with cloudflare provider)
Simple, easy, no pain.

@Barsgrave, note that the private key is still not a valid certificate! Also, Cloudflare does not work for subdomains!

@Umbracian, on that SSL certificate website (for that subdomain), try to use the Email Method (you may need to create a MX record to point to mx.epizy.com and create an email account that is at least named admin for your subdomain), and after you received the email from GoGetSSL, click on it and follow the instruction to verify the account. After that wait some minutes, and follow this guide to install a certificate.
