How to install free SSL in cPanel

 

Here is how to initiate an AutoSSL check from your cPanel account.

        1.Log into your cPanel account and navigate to SSL/TLS Status in the Security section. 

        2.Click the domain(s) you'd like to install a SSL on and click Run AutoSSL.

          

        3. AutoSSL will take a few minutes to finish. When it completes successfully the page will update with a success notification. 

        4. Next cPanel will automatically poll Comodo for a new SSL. This polling process usually takes a few minutes but can last up to a day or more (since there are restrictions on the number of requests that can be made per day). Once it has completed your domain will have a new valid AutoSSL installed. 



          

                 a. If AutoSSL encounters any errors, the page will update with a failure notification explaining the current issue. In the example below, the domain "1hdtest.tld" does not resolve to any IP address. So its DNS record will need to be updated in order for AutoSSL to run successfully.
