When you need a certificate now rather than at the next scheduled run.
THE STEPS
- Confirm the domain resolves to our server. AutoSSL cannot validate a domain that points elsewhere.
- cPanel > SSL/TLS Status.
- Tick the domains and subdomains you want covered. Use "Include during AutoSSL" if any are excluded.
- Click Run AutoSSL.
- Wait a few minutes and refresh the page.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
A green padlock beside each domain, with an expiry date some months ahead.
WHAT FAILURE LOOKS LIKE
A warning icon. Click the domain name to see the exact reason, which is far more useful than guessing.
AFTER IT SUCCEEDS
Set your application's site address to https:// Enable Force HTTPS Redirect under cPanel > Domains Check for mixed content
IF NOTHING HAPPENS
The run is queued rather than instant. Give it several minutes. If the status has not changed after fifteen, open a ticket with the domain name.
