Commonly,\u00a0Let’s encrypt guides are for full-featured linux environment like local one. In shared hosting, that’s not common. Though many of them provide SSH environment, those are very limited.
\nIn this guide, it doesn’t use shared hosting’s SSH environment. It only needs your linux environment.<\/p>\n

Required<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Accessible linux environment other than Hosting provider’s (e.g. Bash on Windows, Ubuntu virtual machine)<\/li>\n
  2. CPanel accessible shared hosting (e.g. Bluehost, a small orange)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Install git on linux environment.
      \n

      sudo apt install git<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

    2. Clone Let’s encrypt’s repository.
      \n

      git clone https:\/\/github.com\/letsencrypt\/letsencrypt<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

    3. Enter letsencrypt directory, and run script.
      \n

      cd letsencrypt
      \n.\/letsencrypt-auto certonly -a manual –rsa-key-size 4096 -d\u00a0(Domain to apply)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n
