Bind free SSL certificate to a website on Windows VPS

We automate the process of certificate issuance for all domains hosted with us. However the automatic certificate binding to a website happens only for shared hosting plans.

For virtual servers it is necessary to perform additional steps:

1. Go to our control panel, create the Free certificate request and wait until the certificate is issued.
2. Export certificate to PFX file
3. Go to your virtual server and open Internet information services (IIS) Manager
4. In the top sub menu click on 'Server Certificates' and import the PFX file
5. In the 'Sites' sub menu click on your website and then on 'Bindings' on the right pane
6. Add the site bindings of 'https' type and by selecting the new certificate
