So you followed my advice and opened an account with Infomaniak. Wise choice — enabling an SSL certificate won't take much effort! On the other hand, it will only bring benefits. Like salt in cooking, SSL is now essential! There are rare cases where a site needs to run without SSL, but that's very uncommon. If that's your case, contact us and we'll sort it out!
One more note: if you can't select the free Let's Encrypt certificate, it's because your domain name is too new. Wait 48 hours and try again.

Instructions
- Go to your hosting Home/Domain & Hosting/Manage hostings/YOURHOSTING/
- Click on SSL Certificate on the left
- In the dropdown menu in the center choose your Domain Name and click "Install"
- Check Free SSL certificate (https) and click "Save"
- That's it, enjoy! You can verify by typing https://www.yoursite.com into a browser (note the S is important). You should see your site appear. Likewise, if you type your site using non-SSL (just http) it should redirect you to your secure address.
