If you're using cPanel, the "SSL/TLS Status" feature makes generating and managing SSL certificates easy. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
- Step 1: Login to your DirectAdmin panel: Access your DirectAdmin account using your credentials, or from your The HostMe account. Once logged in, you'll see the DirectAdmin dashboard with various tools and features.
- Step 2: Locate "SSL/TLS Status"
In the DirectAdmin dashboard, in the "Account Manager" section, you'll find the "SSL Certificates" option. Click on it to proceed.
- Step 2: Here, click on the first tab "Get automatic certificate from ACME Provider". After that, click on the "Certificate Entries" check box to select all the subdomains to generate SSL for.
- Step 3: Click on the Green save button at the bottom right. After that, wait for some time. A pop-up box will appear saying "Certificate and Key Saved". Click on the close button.
- Step 4: Check "Force SSL with https redirect" and click on the save button next to it.
The SSL should be working now. By following these steps, you can easily secure your website with SSL using cPanel's "SSL/TLS Status" feature. A secure website not only protects your visitors but also improves your site's SEO ranking and credibility. Happy securing.
