2. Under **Security**, click **SSL/TLS Certificates**.
3. Scroll down and click **Install** under **Install a free basic certificate provided by Let’s Encrypt**.
4. Fill out the form as follows:
   
* Check **Secure the domain name**.
* Check **Secure the wildcard domain (including www and webmail)** (optional but recommended).
* Check **Assign the certificate to the mail domain** (optional but recommended).

5. Click **Get it free**.
6. Wait a few minutes and then click **Continue**.

✅ The SSL certificate has now been generated and will be active on your selected domain and subdomains within a few minutes.

||| 📌 **Tip:**

* Only domains and subdomains that are correctly pointed to your hosting package can be issued a free SSL certificate.
* Make sure your DNS settings are correctly configured before attempting to generate a certificate.
* Replace `voorbeeld.it` with your actual domain name and `[servernaam]` with the server name your hosting package is hosted on.
