How to auto-activate SSLs for websites

With this feature you, as a hosting reseller, can provide an extra service to your customers. With SSL certificates being installed automatically your customer has not to worry about this security feature for the website.

Not everyone of your hosting customers might as comfortable in navigating a control panel as you are and having this process automated might even reduce the amount of support tickets for you, as questions like ‘where do I find my free SSL certificate and ‘how to I install free SSL on my website’ are obsolete with the automated installation.

How to auto-activate SSLs for websites

Resellers can configure SSL certificates to auto-activate when a new website is created. To do this: 

• Head to your Hosting Package Types - you can either create a new package type, or select Options > Edit to update an existing type.
• Locate the Security section and select Auto activate free SSL, select Save Changes.
• When a new package is created using the package type with this option enabled, we'll automatically install the free SSL.

Please note that for 20i Resellers, this option is turned on by default.

We can only install the free SSL if the nameservers of the website point to 20i. For more information please see this article: Can I use the free SSL if my site doesn’t use the 20i nameservers?
