An SSL certificate on your site gives you the padlock icon in your browser, encrypting communications between visitors to your site and the server. Warning sites without SSL certificates in the browser, so it is more important than ever to have an SSL certificate on your site.
All sites/domains hosted by HostNil Cloud Hosting are automatically enrolled in the Auto SSL system – this is included free of charge with all hosting packages on HostNil. This means that as long as the domain points to us (via the nameservers or A record).
The system will request an SSL for the domain and install it automatically if it doesn’t already have one. This process is transparent and requires no intervention from you. Generally speaking, it takes 5 hours after pointing the nameservers for the SSL to be requested and installed, but if it takes longer than this or if your SSL certificate is not working, please let us know. Or try the following steps below-
- Login to your cPanel
- Go to the “SSL/TLS Status” section in the security section
You will see a list of all the domains and subdomains in cPanel, along with their SSL certificates.
Select the domains in the list and click “Run AutoSSL” to force AutoSSL installation. The SSL Install process will start. Wait a few moments for the installation to complete.
