BurjHost provides free SSL certificates via AutoSSL (powered by Let's Encrypt or cPanel's built-in provider). This happens automatically on most servers, but here is how to ensure it is active and force it to run.

How to Activate Free SSL:

  1. Log in to your cPanel.

  2. Navigate to "SSL/TLS Status" (often found under the "Security" section).

  3. You will see a table listing all domains and subdomains on your account, along with their current SSL status.

  4. Check the box next to the domain(s) that do not have SSL active.

  5. Click the button labeled "Run AutoSSL" or "Start AutoSSL."

  6. The system will now communicate with the certificate authority and install the free certificate. This usually takes 1-5 minutes.

Verification:

  • Once complete, visit https://yourdomain.com in your browser.

  • Click the padlock icon in the address bar. It should say "Connection is secure."

Note: AutoSSL typically runs automatically every night, so even if you miss this step, your site will likely get a certificate within 24 hours.
