Guide Guide: free SSL with automatic renewal on cPanel

Why SSL matters

Browsers mark sites without HTTPS as "Not secure" and search engines prefer secure sites.

Steps

1. Open cPanel and find SSL/TLS Status.
2. Select your domains and click Run AutoSSL.
3. Wait a few minutes, then open your site with https://.

Forcing HTTPS in .htaccess

CodeCopy

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

That's it! Certificates renew automatically. Hosting from DOMAINSROCK includes AutoSSL on every plan.
