7. Deleting an existing certificate (optional)

If you already have an SSL certificate issued by another authority and you want to upgrade to a new Let's Encrypt certificate, you need to delete the existing certificate.
First, back up the existing certificate from the /ssl direcotyr using FTP . Then go to the SSL menu, set "SSL action" to "Delete certificate" and then click "Save". Then you can create the certificate according to point 3.

If you already have an existing certificate in place, we recommend that you do this together with our tech supoport. This eliminates the possibility of interrupting site traffic if you set something wrong.
