To add SSL to the website for free we use SSL For Free
Following the guide here

The cert needs to be updated every 90 days

Create a folder at the root of the website called .well-known with the permission set 755

Add a web config file to the .well-known hosts with the following contents

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <!-- This will stop any redirects you have at the higher level -->
    <httpRedirect enabled="false" />

    <!-- This will stop any integrated mode settings you have at the higher level -->
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
  </system.webServer>

  <!-- This will allow unauthenticated users to acme-challenge subfolder -->
  <location path="acme-challenge">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow users="*"/>
      </authorization>
