I'm following these instructions to enable HTTPS on a website:

I have shell access to the web host, so I'm trying to use Certbot to automate certificate issuance and installation.

On the Certbot website,

it asks what kind of software I'm using on what kind of system.

I have a MacOS, MacBook Pro version High Sierra, but I don't know what kind of software I'm using between the list of available options:

Apache Nginx Haproxy Plesk None of the above

I would assume that I'm using Apache but I'm not really sure. Does anyone know or is there a way to find out?

Though I've helped develop this site for a friend, I'm not paying for her hosting account. I know that she's using the GoDaddy Economy plan: godaddy.com/hosting/web-hosting

They did not mention what exactly is the software so you can get the certificate in PAM format and later convert to other if required. So use apache

(I think @RomeoNinov meant PEM format)
