Follow the instructions below to install free SSL on your website. This is applicable if you have root access on your instance. The instructions is application on Ubuntu 16.04 using Apache as a web server. We will be using certbot to easily install and renew SSL every three (3) months since the expiration of each generated certificate is every 90 days or more or less 3 months. Make sure to renew your ssl before it expires to avoid accessibility problems.
