Hi there,

What I could suggest here is to use certbot and install a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate.

  • For Nginx follow the steps here:

  • For Apache follow the steps here:

Hope that this helps!

Here is a tutorial on how to use Certbot for Nginx but if you have Apache it’s pretty much the same.
