# How to Log In to Plesk and Enable AutoSSL

This article explains how to log in to your Plesk control panel and enable the free AutoSSL (Let's Encrypt) certificate for your domain.

### Logging In to Plesk

1. Open your web browser and go to: **https://yourserveraddress:8443**
2. Enter your Plesk username and password (these were sent in your welcome email).
3. Click **Log in** to access your account.

### Enabling AutoSSL (Let's Encrypt)

1. Once logged in, go to **Websites & Domains** from the left menu.
2. Select the domain you want to secure.
3. Click **SSL/TLS Certificates**.
4. Choose **Install a free basic certificate provided by Let's Encrypt**.
5. Tick the boxes to include the `www` subdomain and/or `mail.domain.com` if needed.
6. Click **Get it free**.

### What Happens Next

- Plesk will automatically issue and install the SSL certificate.
- Certificates are renewed automatically before expiry, so your domain stays secure.
