An SSL/TLS certificate helps a browser verify the server's identity and establish an encrypted HTTPS connection. Choose coverage for the actual names visitors use, then decide whether a free domain-validated certificate or a paid product meets your requirements. List your hostnames, including the main domain, www, and any application subdomains. A redirect still needs a...
A certificate signing request, or CSR, contains a public key and information needed to request a certificate. It is created with a matching private key. Keep that private key on the server where the certificate will be installed. The website's SSL order form asks for the CSR, never the private key. These steps apply to...

Downloading the certificate from your order does not automatically configure a separate hosting panel, proxy, or mail service.

A previous successful request does not prove later renewal succeeded, especially after DNS, proxy, or website-routing changes. Open Hosting services → Manage website → DNS & SSL → Get your hosting ready. Read...

Mixed content occurs when an HTTPS page requests resources such as scripts or images over HTTP; browsers may block or upgrade those requests. MDN mixed-content documentation Record the exact browser message and affected URL. Test...

You need a customer account to manage the certificate after checkout. Paid certificates are managed through My Account → Orders. The website's DNS & SSL → Request Let’s Encrypt SSL control...
Reissue replaces a certificate within the rules of an existing service. Renewal extends or replaces the purchased service for another term. A free reissue does not renew the subscription, and the subscription end date is not necessarily the installed certificate's expiry. Use the paid order's controls below.
