SSL certificates encrypt traffic between your website and visitors. cPanel often includes free AutoSSL.

AutoSSL (Let's Encrypt)

If AutoSSL is enabled:

1. Go to SSL/TLS Status in cPanel
2. Select the domains you want to secure
3. Click Run AutoSSL

Certificates are issued automatically and will renew before they expire.

Force HTTPS

To redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS:

1. Go to Domains or Redirects
2. Create a redirect from http://yourdomain.com to https://yourdomain.com

Or add this to your .htaccess in public_html:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
