help cPanel SSL (AutoSSL) FAQ
How often does cPanel's AutoSSL automatically renew my certificates?
cPanel's AutoSSL feature runs an automated check on a regular basis to ensure your domains have valid certificates. Typically, the system will automatically attempt to renew the SSL certificates before they expire, often every 90 days depending on the provider.
Does AutoSSL provide the same encryption level as a paid EV SSL certificate?
Yes, the encryption strength provided by AutoSSL via Let's Encrypt or Sectigo is just as strong as a paid certificate. However, AutoSSL provides Domain Validation (DV) certificates, so it will not display the company name in the browser bar like an Extended Validation (EV) certificate.
Why did AutoSSL fail to install a certificate on my cPanel addon domain?
AutoSSL will fail on addon domains if the domain's DNS does not point to the correct server IP address. Additionally, if an external CDN like Cloudflare is proxying the traffic, cPanel may not be able to complete the HTTP verification.
Where do I enable the AutoSSL feature for all my hosting accounts in WHM?
Server administrators can enable AutoSSL globally by navigating to the "Manage AutoSSL" section in Web Host Manager (WHM). From there, you can select your preferred provider, like Let's Encrypt or Sectigo, and apply it to all hosted users.
