An SSL certificate secures your website and allows it to load over HTTPS instead of HTTP. All of our hosting packages include free SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt.
Step 1: Log in to Your Hosting Control Panel
- cPanel: Go to https://stylo.simplisticnode.com:2083
- DirectAdmin: Go to https://da01.unifiedns.io:2222
- Enter the login details from your welcome email.
Step 2: Enable SSL for Your Domain
- In cPanel:
- Go to SSL/TLS Status.
- Find your domain in the list.
- Select it and click Run AutoSSL.
- In DirectAdmin:
- Go to Account Manager → SSL Certificates.
- Choose Free & automatic certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
- Select your domain and click Save.
Step 3: Force HTTPS (Recommended)
To make sure visitors always use the secure version of your site:
- In cPanel:
- Go to Domains.
- Toggle Force HTTPS Redirect on for your domain.
- In DirectAdmin:
- Go to Account Manager → Domain Setup.
- Select your domain and enable Secure SSL.
- Add a redirect rule if needed, or use your
.htaccess
file.
Troubleshooting
- SSL not issuing? → Make sure your domain is pointing to our hosting and DNS has propagated.
- Mixed content warning? → Some images, scripts, or CSS may still load over HTTP. Update them to use HTTPS.
- Still no padlock? → Clear your browser cache or try in incognito mode.
