Who this is for:
Customers who want HTTPS on their website.
Overview:
SSL secures the connection between your website and your visitors. Most modern websites should always use HTTPS.
What you need before starting:
-
active hosting account
-
domain pointed correctly to SVR4U
-
cPanel access
Steps:
-
Log in to cPanel.
-
Open SSL/TLS Status or your SSL management tool.
-
Check whether a free SSL certificate has already been issued automatically.
-
If not, select the domain and run the automatic SSL function if available.
-
Once SSL is active, update WordPress or your site settings to use
https://.
Why SSL may not issue immediately:
SSL validation usually requires the domain to point to the correct hosting server first.
How to verify it worked:
Visit your site with https:// and confirm the padlock icon appears in the browser.
Common mistakes:
-
domain still points elsewhere
-
mixed content warnings from old HTTP links
-
forgetting to force HTTPS in WordPress or site settings
When to contact support:
Contact support if SSL does not issue after DNS has fully propagated.
