Our SSL certificates should be generated automatically once your DNS has propagated and your site can be viewed on your domain. However, it can take up to 48 hours before the certificate is created, and you can use https on your pages.
If the certificate is not created automatically, you can initiate the process yourself. First, go to cPanel via your control panel and select 'SSL/TLS Status.' Under SSL/TLS Status, click 'Run AutoSSL,' and your certificates will attempt to be generated.
If everything turns green, your certificate is in place, and you can now have your site run on https.
Force your site to use HTTPS instead of HTTP
For example, if you are using WordPress, we recommend this plugin to make your site run on https: https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/
If you are not using WordPress, you can use this script in your .htaccess file to force your site to use https:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Note that we do not provide support for editing .htaccess, and always make a backup of your .htaccess file before making any changes.
