How to Set Up a Free SSL Certificate (HTTPS) for Your Himachal Website: The 2026 Guide
Google marks HTTP sites as “Not Secure” – that’s a trust killer for any business, especially if you’re collecting bookings or payments. An SSL certificate encrypts data between your site and your visitors, showing the reassuring padlock. The best part: you can get one completely free.
🔒 Free SSL Options
🛠️ Step‑by‑Step for cPanel (Hostinger, etc.)
1. Log into cPanel → Security → SSL/TLS Status or Let’s Encrypt.
2. Select your domain and issue the certificate.
3. Once installed, enable “Force HTTPS Redirect” to automatically switch all visitors to the secure version.
4. Update your website’s internal links from http:// to https://.
5. Submit the new HTTPS sitemap to Google Search Console.
📍 After Migration – Check for Mixed Content
Sometimes images or scripts still load over HTTP. Use a browser’s console or “Why No Padlock?” tool to find and fix mixed content errors.
