In order to activate SSL/TLS, you must go to the management panel of your hosting.
This information was communicated to you when you created your hosting.

Go to the horizontal menu above in the "Sites" section. In "Websites", click on your hosting, for example "mysite.com".

If you want to install a free SSL certificate: 

Check the "Let's Encrypt" box and finish with the "Save" button.
Your site will be accessible via https://monsite.com within 5 minutes.
If this does not work, it is probably because your DNS configuration is incorrect. Correct and retry activation 1 hour later.

If you wish to install a paid certificate: 

Go to the "SSL" tab and fill in all the requested fields.
Select in the "SSL Action" menu the "Create certificate" line and finish with the "Save" button.
Wait 2 minutes and return to your Site, SSL tab, and copy and paste the text "SSL Request" taking care to also copy the lines "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----".
Send the text that you have copied and pasted to Support so that they can finalize the order.
