The Importance of HTTPS
An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between your visitors and your server. It is now completely standard, and browsers will mark your site as "Not Secure" without it.
Using Certbot
The easiest way to install Let's Encrypt on your VPS is using Certbot. If you are using Nginx on Ubuntu, the command is as simple as:
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.comCertbot will automatically verify your domain, generate the certificates, update your Nginx configuration, and even set up a cron job for automatic renewal!
