Unless you purchased a domain already, applying SSL to your site is meaningless. But if you really want to move on, generate a self-signed certificate is enough, https://docs.jexusmanager.com/tutorials/self-signed.html

Hi @RAVI

So you can't export the SSL certificate in .pfx format through video? You can try the steps in this link: https://www.digicert.com/kb/ssl-support/certificate-pfx-file-export-import-iis-10.htm, I successfully exported the installed certificate.

For an SSL certificate to be valid, domains need to obtain it from a certificate authority (CA). A CA is an outside organization, a trusted third party, that generates and gives out SSL certificates. The CA will also digitally sign the certificate with their own private key, allowing client devices to verify it. Most, but not all, CAs will charge a fee for issuing an SSL certificate.

Also about IIS Self Signed Certificate you can refer to: https://aboutssl.org/how-to-create-a-self-signed-certificate-in-iis/. Then you can still export the certificate through IIS.
