1) make sure you have your binding setup for Both [www.domain.com and Domain.com] in IIS

===================================================================================================

First visit https://www.sslforfree.com/

[enter only one domain without the www]

domain.com
then create free ssl certificate
note: you should have the www. version showing also.
both domain.com www.domain.com
Select Manual Verification - Super fast
Manually Verify Domain

ok here's the thinking part:

Go into your root directory of your domain and add this exact folder and sub folder.

Create 2 folder in your domain
The First Directory is exactly without the quotes ".well-known"
The Sub Directory under ".well-known" is "acme-challenge"

.wellknown>acme-challenge> paste 2 files here only

Note the dot in front of wellknown is a MUST.

Verify successful upload by visiting the following links in your browser
http://domain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyjmx3A
http://www.domain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This should show random alphanumeric characters.

Once this file shows in your web browser STOP and continue to Part 2 Below.
===========================================================================================================

PART 2:

2) Run letsencrypt.exe on your webserver only (right click run as administrator) (scan it too :))

3) Just select the number of your website you want the ssl for.

Example
1 mydomains.com
2 www.mydomains.com
3 Iamgroot.com
4 www.Iamgroot.com


select number 1 then hit enter
follow instructions that my cat can follow.

Remember these certificates expire in exactly 90 days so either add the reminder email in this program now here or google calendar/reminders. Do it right now.

Go check IIS Binding Settings: You should see New binding automatically setup with the HTTPS: mydomain.com 443 setup

Run this again in 90 days but this time it will remove old ssl certificates and install new ones.


Note: You will have to generate a separate ssl for domain.com and one for www.domain.com unlit they release the wildcard * one shortly.

there you go.

If you need the BAR to turn GREEN entirely then you need to pay and be vetted with a "EV certificate"
Extended Validation Certificate which will give you coverage up to 1 million dollars and is only for businesses that can be validated.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Validation_Certificate

Use this for now then make your millions and get an EV certificate.

This post will help many as SSL can be confusing.

Optimize IIS go to App Pools on the left above the websites> select the high value website

https://ibb.co/dOXwga

it is not work for me((

i can`t verificate my site

Did you upload both files and verify both files?

https://www.sslforfree.com/

yes, upload, but can not verify, do not see file

https://ibb.co/edtcZn
your path is wrong thats why.

look at the path in the image above.


you have // in your path.

try again.

yes, i try but the same

Example:

Download the following verification files by clicking on each link below
Download File #1
Download File #2


Create a folder in your domain named ".well-known" if it does not already exist.

If you use Windows you may have to add a dot at the end of the folder name in order to create a folder with a dot at the beginning.


Create another folder in your domain under ".well-known" named "acme-challenge" if it does not already exist
Upload the downloaded files to the "acme-challenge" folder
Verify successful upload by visiting the following links in your browser
http://xxxxxxxxxx.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/79lPQcCjeeuLAJ9dDDdrWTXZaqCM9FcsmMCEd1mtbKk
http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/XnZ6kN8J1Bd40ZmSlq1YIbr0n_8TLrZ5NZbGp3ExTWc

If the files do not show random alphanumeric characters or shows an error then recheck that you are uploading in the correct place.

Also try viewing the page source (Right-click then click "view page source") of the above links to make sure nothing else shows up but the verification file contents. If you use IIS then you may have to change your server config so that files without an extension (or the wildcard MIME type) serves as text/plain. Contact your host if you are unsure.

if the above does not work....

generate a two new files..

repeat

it will work
