Free SSL certificates are automatic

Every site hosted on EbdaaHost gets a free SSL certificate that is issued and renewed automatically. Learn when it appears and how to force HTTPS.

Every website you host with EbdaaHost gets a free SSL certificate. You don’t need to buy or install one yourself — it is issued and renewed automatically.

When does the certificate appear?

The certificate is issued automatically once your domain points to our servers. If you have just changed your nameservers to ns1.ebdaahost.com and ns2.ebdaahost.com, wait for the change to propagate; the certificate is then issued in the next automatic run.

See how to point your domain to EbdaaHost nameservers.

Always send visitors to HTTPS

Once the certificate is in place, turn on the redirect so everyone gets the secure version of your site:

  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. Open Domains.
  3. Turn on Force HTTPS Redirect next to your domain.

If you see a “mixed content” warning

If the browser padlock looks broken even though the certificate exists, your page is probably loading images or files through links that start with http://. Change them to https://. In WordPress, also make sure the site address in Settings starts with https://.

Do I need to renew it?

No. Renewal is automatic as long as the domain points to our servers. If the certificate hasn’t been issued after your nameserver change has fully propagated, contact support.
