Hey there,

If you have a website, or you're thinking about deploying your site soon, you need to consider making it work with HTTPS.

The reality is, hosting an insecure site just isn't good enough...

Google ranks insecure pages (HTTP) worse than secure pages (HTTPS)
Your visitor's browsing activity and data isn't encrypted or protected
Chrome and Firefox are adding scary visual cues to punish insecure sites. That means, even non-technical folk are now receiving in your face warnings that your site is dangerous to view...

That's to say, we're on a rapid march towards a "secure by default" web when it comes to protecting traffic.

And if you're serving anything over an insecure connection, you need to plan how you're going to go HTTPS now.

Now the good news is, we have expert instructor, Nick Janetakis, to help make that a breeze with his brand new course, HTTPS with Let's Encrypt.

To refresh your memory, Nick is the real deal!

Here's why he ticks all the boxes.

He's been using Let's Encrypt since it first went live in early 2016
He knows how to make learning FUN
20,000+ people have taken at least one of Nick's courses
He works around the clock answering questions - so you never get stuck

Best of all, in this brand new course, you walk away with years of knowledge and best practices that he's built through accumulating feedback from hundreds of hours of consulting.

From insecure to an A+ rated secure site in 3 hours

Crash Course on SSL Certificates
Create a server on DigitalOcean
Securely host a website with nginx and Apache
Hook up a custom domain name to your server
Integrate and automate Let's Encrypt for A+ rated SSL certificates

3 hours is all you need to understand the 'how' and then actually secure your own site or web app with HTTPS using Let's Encrypt.

Don't keep doing SSL the old way. It's time-consuming and costly.

Grab the course now and learn Let's Encrypt quickly without digging too deeply into its documentation and without having to learn it through trial and error.

It includes lifetime access to 8 sections.

35 video lectures - from insecure to big green padlock in just 3 hours
$10 in DigitalOcean hosting credits to help follow along
Production ready configs and scripts that do all the work for you, so you can work along with the course at a fast and easy pace

From Nick, on that last point: I do go over these scripts in great detail, but you don’t need to sit through and type them out on your own. I like scripts, because now it’s something you can place onto another server and run. It’s a repeatable work flow that removes human error.

Plus you'll also get unlimited free updates to the course.

So why Let's Encrypt?

Simply put: They are a free, automated and open certificate authority

SSL certificates can be issued for free via Let's Encrypt. Compare that to $10/year per certificate from other providers - don't get ripped off!
It's open source, transparent and has a huge community
100% hands free SSL certificate automation once you set it up. Other providers require you to manually renew certs yearly or your site stops working
Over 40 million+ certs issued and growing at remarkable speeds
