Updated SSL Certificates

When there is a will, there is a way!

Free SSL certificates, issued by Let’s Encrypt, have been around for quite a while. Enabling it on a shared hosting is an issue, since users cannot execute any executables (or very limited set of commands) on it.

I’ve been using premium shared hosting service from Hostinger Indonesia for few years now to host my personal website (kenrick95.org). Here are the steps required to enable Let’s Encrypt SSL on Hostinger shared hosting.
