How do I get a free SSL certificate for my website?

At Elitehost, we provide free SSL certificates through AutoSSL, issued by Let’s Encrypt. These certificates are enabled by default and automatically issued every 12-24 hours. However, you may want to run AutoSSL manually to ensure the certificates are applied immediately.

Step-by-Step Guide to Run AutoSSL



Access cPanel:

For help, see our article How do I log into cPanel?

Navigate to SSL/TLS Status:

Once inside cPanel, scroll down to the Security section.

Click on SSL/TLS Status.

Enable AutoSSL for Your Domains:

You will see a list of all domains associated with your hosting account.

To issue SSL certificates for all of your domains, click the "Run AutoSSL" button.

AutoSSL runs automatically once per day and will renew any certificates that are nearing expiration. The domain must point to our servers for AutoSSL to function

If you have any questions or need assistance with SSL certificates, feel free to contact our support team for further help.
