Hi,
We've been experimenting. We have a Wordpress installation on an EC2/Nginx instance, and it's delivering page loads at just over 1 second which is great.
We've got lost installing SSL though. We've got an Amazon issued security cert issued from AWS certificate manager but to hook it up to the site it seems like we need to go through a paid load balancing program, which goes from free to $20 a month.
Is there a way of getting our Wordpress install up on Amazon and with a free SSL while keeping really fast page loads?
Thanks,
Phil
you can install certbot on that VPS and use free "lets encrypt" certificates
Hi - thanks - we're pretty new to this area of hosting - have you got any more instructions on what to do? We get to the dropdowns on the certbot home page and we run into trouble immediately because we don't know what to select on the right hand side.
EDIT: Does this look like the sort of thing that would do it? https://medium.freecodecamp.org/goin...x-696770649e76
Easiest option is to use cloud flare for your dns, includes a free cert with no config needed

Thanks Nick, I'll see if we can retro plug this in - I think we went a different path with the WP install, but not sure. I'll check.
