In your ClouDNS dashboard, select DNS Hosting, then select the domain you want to add SSL to.

Then click the Free SSL button.

Follow the directions given & then wait for it.

Step 2 : Download the cert

Download the cert via their API:

  • curl "https://api.cloudns.net/dns/freessl-get.xml?auth-id=AUTHID&auth-password=PASSWORD&domain-name=DOMAIN"

Step 3 : Make the cert useable

(This is where it's gonna get interesting...)

Step 4 : put the cert into a useful place

Step 5 : Tell Apache about it

Step 6 : Automate the update process
