What is AutoSSL?
AutoSSL is cPanel's built-in tool that automatically installs and renews free SSL certificates (via Let's Encrypt) on all your domains and subdomains. It runs automatically every 24 hours to catch new domains and renew expiring certificates.
Activate AutoSSL in 3 Steps
- Log into cPanel
- Go to Security → SSL/TLS Status
- Click Run AutoSSL
AutoSSL installs certificates on all your domains and subdomains within a few minutes. You will see green padlocks next to each domain when done.
Force HTTPS Redirect
After SSL is active, force all HTTP traffic to HTTPS by adding this to your .htaccess file in public_html:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Troubleshooting SSL Issues
- Certificate not installing — ensure your domain's DNS is pointing to ACBIZ GLOBAL hosting (A record must be correct)
- Mixed content warnings — update all hardcoded http:// links in your site to https://
- SSL expired — run AutoSSL again; contact support if it fails repeatedly
Tip: AutoSSL runs daily — but if you add a new subdomain, manually run AutoSSL to install the certificate immediately.
