How to install Let's Encrypt free SSL on Namecheap shared hosting?

Question

I have tried to install Let's Encrypt free SSL on my Namecheap shared hosting but failed. Then I asked to Namecheap support and they're saying that it's possible to install Let's Encrypt SSL on Namecheap shared hosting but we cannot help you with any third party stuff.
I'm not able to use different hosting provider at this moment​ and I need a free SSL badly.

Answer 1

thats great, if your server is debian based the you can use:
sudo apt-get install letsencrypt

then you can run:
EDITED-
letsencrypt --apache -d yourdomain.com

if apache is your webserver

there is a more detail explanation on digitalocean.com in their comunity section if you search for lets encrypt

hers a link to more articles with different Operating servers:

Answer 4

do you have any console access to the server that is hosting the site? either through ssh or a control panel?
