What is AutoSSL in cPanel?
AutoSSL is a feature within cPanel that automatically arranges and installs an SSL certificate for your domain. SSL certificates are crucial to the security of your website because they encrypt the connection between the visitor and the server. This protects sensitive data, such as passwords or personal information, from hackers.
Why is an SSL certificate necessary?
An SSL certificate is not only important for security, but also for the trust of your visitors. Browsers mark websites without an SSL certificate as 'not secure', which can deter visitors. In addition, it has positive effects on your SEO ranking because search engines prefer secure websites.
How to Enable AutoSSL in cPanel
To activate AutoSSL, log into your cPanel account and navigate to 'Security'. Here you will find 'AutoSSL' and with a few clicks you can activate the service for your domains or subdomains.
Steps to install an SSL certificate via AutoSSL
- Log into cPanel via your hosting provider.
- Look for 'SSL/TLS' or 'Security' in the cPanel dashboard.
- Select the 'AutoSSL' option.
- Select the domains or subdomains you want to secure.
- Start the AutoSSL process by following the on-screen instructions.
- Please wait while AutoSSL automatically installs and renews your SSL certificate.
Understand the AutoSSL renewal process
AutoSSL keeps track of the expiration date of your SSL certificate. Before the certificate expires, AutoSSL will automatically attempt to obtain and install a new certificate. This means less worry for you, because your certificate is always up to date.
Troubleshooting and Support Use
