Howdy there @blegit. You might want to check out this discussion that’s on the same subject of setting up domains with LetsEncrypt

> [@LetsEncrypt SSL cert for domain and subdomain](https://forum.ghost.org/t/letsencrypt-ssl-cert-for-domain-and-subdomain/7213):

> I’ve just set up a Ghost instance on a DigitalOcean droplet for the URL [https://divide100k.com](https://divide100k.com). I also need [https://www.divide100k.com](https://www.divide100k.com) to work, but the command ghost setup nginx ssl is only requestinf an SSL certificate for the basic URL. As a workaround, I just modified the command and re-ran it: sudo /etc/letsencrypt/acme.sh --issue --home /etc/letsencrypt --domain divide100k.com,www.divide100k.com --webroot /var/www/divide100/system/nginx-root --reloadcmd "nginx -s reload" --accountemail ..…

There’s also a link to our docs on setting up domains with SSL:
