🔒 Security & SSL

Enabling SSL on Your Domain

Issuing a free SSL certificate for your domain through DirectAdmin.

  1. Log in to DirectAdmin and open SSL Certificates.
  2. Choose Let's Encrypt as the certificate type — this is free and renews automatically.
  3. Select the domain (and any subdomains, such as www) to include on the certificate.
  4. Click Save; the certificate is usually issued within a minute.

Once issued, your site is accessible over https:// immediately. See Forcing an HTTPS Redirect to make sure visitors are sent to the secure version automatically.
