Your free SSL certificate
All buzzing365 hosting plans include a free SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt or AutoSSL depending on plan), which usually auto-installs within a few hours of your domain pointing to us.
Installing or checking it manually
1
Open SSL/TLS Status in cPanel
This shows every domain and sub-domain on your account and its certificate status.
2
Click Run AutoSSL
This issues or renews free certificates for any domain that doesn't have a valid one.
3
Wait a few minutes
Certificate issuance is usually instant but can take up to a few hours to fully propagate.
4
Verify the padlock
Visit your site at https://yourdomain.com and confirm the padlock icon appears.
Forcing HTTPS
Once SSL is active, force all visitors to the secure version using a redirect — see our .htaccess redirects guide for the exact rule to add.
Need a premium SSL with a higher warranty (RapidSSL, GeoTrust, DigiCert)? See our SSL Certificates plans.
