Basic SSL is free for every domain in the hosting account. It is enough for 99% sites. SSL is installed on our hosting automatically for every domain on every hosting account every morning at 6 am. Then it is renewed if the previous one has expired. In this case you always have an active SSL. How to install SSL?
How to install SSL?
Install SSL in 3 clicks by logging into cPanel and then clicking on SSL/TLS Status.
When a new page opens for you. You need to tick everywhere where you have a red padlock next to the checkbox and the domain, and if it's all then tick next to the word Domain to tick everything at once and click the button Run AutoSSL.
When you've done that, you'll see that it is AutoSSL in progress… and that means you have to wait a little bit, from a few seconds to a few minutes. When it is finished, you have successfully installed ssl and instead of a red padlock, you will now see a green one. As in the picture below.
This completes the SSL installation. Now you need to create a redirect so that everyone who visits your site opens automatically with SSL, ie with HTTPS instead of HTTP.
Redirect to HTTPS
For WordPress psite change from HTTP to HTTPS instructions.
Redirection to HTTPS (SSL) instruction.
In case the site doesn't show you a padlock, it means that something on the site is still being loaded with HTTP, so in that case follow this instruction how to get a padlock. (not green anymore, that was a year ago)
Keep in mind that SSL is also very important for Google ranking. Also google blocks anything that loads you from HTTP if the visitor is redirected to HTTPS as of December 2019.
