I'm learning, I should just check your videos first when looking for this kind of tech help. I already had a free certificate from my domain/DNS host (not Amazon), but I couldn't figure out how to use it on my Lightsail WordPress site, I did this install instead. As usual, it was very easy to follow your video. Thanks Will, for this and all the other times you've helped me...

As of 2/26/23 still works! I was paying AWS $18 bucks a month for load balancer to get https, but this methods free and it seems faster than the balancer. Thanks!

This has been really helpful - thank you! I tried multiple alternative methods to secure my site to HTTPS and none of them worked, and they were much longer! Really enjoying the videos so far. A request for a future tutorial would be a run through of what you recommend all new websites and set ups should include, and reference back to previous videos where appropriate... for example #1 how to automate backups (snapshots), #2 how to secure the website (this video), #3 important public policies, copyright, and T&Cs to write on the site, #4 Website google analytics set up etc...

@SpaceRex Instructions are sharp. FYI and every one, this instructions avoid the use of the AWS ligthsail load balancer that increase the any website start cost. I just tested on Goggle chrome, Explorer, Safari in iOs handheld devices and works as expected. Keep up the good videos!

So helpful! Worked like a charm! I followed your Host Website on Lightsail video and it worked like a charm. I'd like to set up multiple websites on the same instance ( to keep costs down). Any chance you could do a video on that (if you haven't already)? I tried the multisite instance... which was really cool... however, some of the free plugins that I use recognized this and wanted to charge me. So I assume I can set up subdomains within the same instance and just use DNS records to point to the correct folder. Yes?

Where do you find the cert and public key: const express = require('express'); const app = express(); const https = require('https'); const io = require('sio').init(https); const cors = require('cors'); app.use(cors()); var options = { key: fs.readFileSync('./cert/nodejs.demo.net.key'), cert: fs.readFileSync('./cert/ServerCertificate.cer') }; https.createServer(options, app).listen(443,()=>{ console.log("listening secure via SSL on 443") })
