Every AshHost hosting account includes free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt, issued and renewed automatically by cPanel's AutoSSL.
How it works
- Once your domain points to AshHost, AutoSSL issues a certificate within a few hours.
- It covers your domain,
www, and standard addresses such asmail.andwebmail. - It renews automatically before it expires – there's nothing to do on your side.
To check your certificate: in cPanel go to Security → SSL/TLS Status. A green padlock means you're covered. If a domain shows an error, click Run AutoSSL.
Make your site always use HTTPS: in cPanel go to Domains and turn on Force HTTPS Redirect for your domain.
Common reasons a certificate isn't issued
- Your domain doesn't point to AshHost yet – see Pointing your domain to AshHost
- A firewall or plugin is blocking access to
