FREE SSL from HOSTGATOR - You need to do this now! #Best Education Page #Online Earning

in this video I'm gonna show you how you

can set up and use the free SSL

certificate that's provided to all

hostgator customers regardless of the

hosting plan you're on this is a new

feature that Hostgator only recently

bought in you used to have to pay for

SSL certificates but now they're giving

everyone one for free this is really

good news because not having an SSL

certificate could have a negative effect

on your search engine rankings and

possibly even on the conversion rate on

your website so I'd recommend that if

you're a hostgator customer you need to

watch this video and you need to get

yourselves difficut I'm running as

quickly as possible so let's go

hello it's Alex here from WP eagle I

hope you're all well now before we get

started if you're not already a

subscriber I'd love to have you as part

of the WP eagle family to join is very

easy just click on the red button below

the subscribe button and click the bell

and you'll be notified when I upload new

videos which tends to be every single

week so hostgator out giving everyone a

free ssl stuff good whoo this is great

news because as i mentioned in the

introduction not having an ssl

certificate could have a negative effect

on your search engine rankings and it

could also be a problem when it comes to

conversion and keeping visitors on your

site the reason for this is that the

Google Chrome browser which is one of

the most popular browsers out there so

one that I think the largest percentage

of people use to browse the web Google

Chrome is going to bring in a feature I

think it's in the next month or so where

when a visitor is browsing a site that

does not have an SSL certificate they're

gonna get like a warning message saying

you know this site is not secure you

could you know have your data

compromised all that kind of stuff

basically scare people off and you don't

people being scared off from your web

sites so setting up your SSL is gonna be

an essential part of running a website

so what is it is still terrific

basically it just allows people to

connect to your site over a encrypted

secure connection when people are

browsing your site they'll get the nice

little green padlock in their address

bar and it will say HTTPS and they'll

feel all nice and safe and warm and

secure which is of course what you want

now Hostgator have already installed the

SSL certificates on everyone's account

at least they should have done anyway so

it's just a case of setting up WordPress

so that it uses the SSL certificate and

so that people can't access the

unsecured version of your site I'm going

to set up a certificate on boot boutique

which is one of my Amazon affiliate

websites I created in a tutorial quite

some time ago it's not currently running

SSL Certificates so I thought it'd be a

good site to do so whoo let's get on the

computer and I'll show you what you need

to do ok so I'm over a boot boutique

which as I mentioned is one of my Amazon

affiliate sites that I created in a

tutor

quite some time ago I'll put some links

to various tutorials around my Amazon

affiliates in the description of this

video if you're interested in checking

those out so this site is on the basic

Hostgator plan I think it's called

hatchling it's the cheapest one you can

get and hopefully hostgator have already

installed my SSL certificate it's

something they're gonna just do for

everyone automatically but we do need to

check that it has been installed and

that it's working before we tell

WordPress that we're using HTTPS

otherwise it will just break the site

which is not what you want to do so the

best way to check if the certificate is

working is to go and log in to your site

so I'll log in to mine now so you go

over to WP admin you put user and

password in and you log in and it should

just log in why is that not working

let's try again no idea

second time is a treat and then when

you're in your dashboard like this what

you want to do is come up to your

address bar and before you URL you want

to just type in HTTP s yes stands for

secure and then a colon and then a slash

and then a slash so it's like that and

it should the main of its WP admin so

we're gonna try and look at this

dashboard over a secure connection so

just gonna press enter now it's taking

me back to the login screen which is

fine because I was logged into the

unsecure version the website and then

once we log into the secure version the

website which is fine but the main thing

that we want to check is this bit up

here so now we've got this lovely green

padlock the HTTPS is green that means

your certificate is installed and it's

working now if you don't get this green

padlock with the word secure and this

green HTTPS then yeah and it's gray or

whatever and you get some error message

saying that stuff is not installed with

some problem then you just gonna need to

raise a ticket or a live chat with

Hostgator and just ask them to take a

look at that but fingers crossed it

should all be fine then you just need to

log back in again and now we're viewing

the dashboard over a secure connection

and yeah it's all good so what we need

to do is just install a very simple

plugin that's gonna switch everything

over to HTTPS so all the pages posts and

the whole site basically so let me just

close some of these messages what I'm

gonna do is I'm gonna go to plugins and

then add new and then in the keyword box

on type in simple SS l like that and

it's this plug-in here called really

simple SSL this picture of this padlock

click install now

then activate and then we're done it

says we're almost ready to migrate to

SSL it says it's recommended to take a

backup you can do that except to you if

you want to learn how to do that then

just check the channel for a video in

fact I'll put a link to it in the

description so you can easily find it I

recommend a plug-in called updraft to do

your backups but to fair you'll be fine

as long as you've checked that you've

got this green when you're in the

dashboard on HTTPS you should be fine so

let's just leave this tick box ticked

and click go ahead and activate SSL and

then we're all done let's have a quick

look so now we're on the site we've got

the green padlock and we got the green

HTTPS and if I try to access the site

over a connection that's not secure so

just the HTTP connection it should

automatically just switch me over to the

secure connection he says see and there

we go

that's all fine and then if we you know

just check out some pages whatever see

if they're okay there we go it's all

fine there's a couple of other things

that you might want to do and this

applies to those you that are running

Google Analytics and if you've got your

site registered with Google Webmaster

console so let's start with Google

Analytics

I'm just going to log in to analytics

and here we are so what we need to do

you can see currently it's set to just

track the HTTP site basically just going

to think that there's kind of two

separate sites the HTTP site and an HTTP

site they're seen by Google and other

things as two separate sites so it's we

just want to switch everything over to

the HTTP so to do that I'm going to go

to the little cog down here and then in

my properties settings where it's got

default URL we can just gone this drop

down switch over to HTTPS just like that

and then click Save

there we go that's all done so that's

Google Analytics done when it comes to

webmaster console which is a great thing

to setup and you should do it if you

haven't done it already it's gonna go

log into webmaster console just gonna do

a search I don't need to is that when

they're google.com slash webmasters sign

in so here is boot boutique

now basically with webmaster console

what you need to do is basically add

another site and remove this one there's

no way of kind of switching this to

database so I'm gonna do it now I'm just

gonna remove this then I'm gonna come up

to the top and go add property I'm gonna

type in an HTTP colon slash slash boot I

think that's why there's no www you want

to make sure that it matches exactly let

me just check yeah sometimes I can't

remember whether I've got a www instead

I mean it was easier just copy and paste

it then you know you can't get it wrong

well that I think click Add

now we just need to verify that we own

the website now the easiest way to do

this is with Google Analytics so if

you're just on the step that we just did

where you've got your Google Analytics

and all that setup you'll be fine and we

need to do is click verify there are

other ways to do it if you're not

running Google Analytics but that's the

easiest so that's done and then we're

just going to want to add our sitemap

now this is gonna vary depending on the

plug-in and things that you're running

but if you followed any of my tutorials

then I generally recommend Yoast SEO I'm

just gonna go into crueler than sitemaps

and then let me just log in here and let

me just double check the sitemap address

pretty sure it's sitemap underscore

index but let me just be sure so in the

SEO which is part of the ocean SEO in

general then go to features XML sitemaps

I'll just click on that I can click here

to see the XML sitemap and there it is

is slash sitemap underscore indexed XML

so if we come back to webmaster console

click Add it's gonna paste that in I

don't need an slash it's already a slash

there and submit then we're done

so that's the site all switched over to

HTTPS we're nice and secure people are

going to get any scary error messages or

warnings when they visit the site and it

should hopefully do well in the Google

search results because Google absolutely

love secure web sites but yeah that's it

so that brings us the end of this video

I hope you found it useful I hope you've

now got a nice secure SSL dup web site
