About This Course

Learn to Secure website traffic using HTTPS by installing a FREE Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate!

In the modern internet age, delivering web content over a secure protocol has become essential. 

Since January 2017, Google attaches a warning label to any website that does not secure sensitive web page content by delivering it using HTTPS. This includes web pages that contain forms asking for usernames, passwords, credit cards and other sensitive information. 

In the near future Google plans to roll out a requirement for all web pages to be secured. Warning labels will become progressively more aggressive, and eventually highlighted in red, bold colors on the address bar. 

It is easy to see the consequences of not complying with this new requirement. You invest time, money and energy to drive traffic to your website. Your users expect a secure browsing experience and will likely be deterred from using your page when they see such warning labels attached. 

There is a common misconception that securing a webpage over HTTPS requires expert server knowledge and is a costly and cumbersome process. 

The purpose of this course is designed to teach you everything you need to know about HTTPS and SSL certificates. We start with the basics. Exploring the theory and definitions that will be useful in developing your understanding. 

From there, we dive into configuring a server on Digital Ocean and installing a free SSL certificate known as Let's Encrypt. We also explore setting up Cron Jobs on an Ubuntu server, to automatically renew your certificate periodically. 

After completing this course, you will easily be able to secure any web page using HTTPS and free SSL certificates.

  • Distinguish between different types of SSL Certificates

  • Create and Configure a basic droplet on Digital Ocean

  • Install a Free Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate

Podría profundizar un poquito mas en la explicación de ciertas cuestiones que se tratan, estaría bueno agregar el uso de cerbot para automatizar. pero en definitiva esta correcto.

Hacen falta más ejemplos de la instalación y configuración del certificado, mostrando ejemplos con los demás parámetros del comando utilizado.

Benim için bir zaman kaybı oldu. SSL kurulumu ile ilgili çok spesifik bir alana hitap ediyor ve genel olarak belli bir alan adı ile web sitesinin barındığı server'da SSL kurulumu ile ilgili sorun yaşayanların işine yarayacak hiç bir şey yok.

This course is a bit outdated, but it still gave me a huge overview of how to work with SSL certificates and how it fits together. Much of what I have seen in this course correlates with what I see working with my partners. If you update the course I will update it closer to 5 stars.

The course could use some updates regarding ubuntu and letsencrypt but the problems from that were easy to answer from other sources on the internet
