How to ensure your website uses a valid SSL certificate

Steps to follow when you want to request a SSL certificate

Important tips

  • When your website is created, SSL certificates for your website and webmail are automatically requested in the first 5 minutes
  • SSL certificates are free, are requested through “Let’s Encrypt”, and are valid for 90 days. They are automatically renewed.

Enter your Security Zone

 
  • Log into reyalizehosting.com
  • Go to the “Websites” tab
  • Select your website name
  • Click on “Security”

Manage your SSL certificates

  • Check if the status for your domain shows as ‘active’
  • Check if the certificate is provided by Let’s Encrypt
    • If this is not the case, you might need to wait 5 minutes, or there might be an issue with your DNS zone
    • You can attempt to request a certificate by clicking the ‘3 dots’  and selecting “Request” for both options
  • Choose to enable ‘Force HTTPS’ (recommended)
  • In case you would like to install a custom certificate (for advanced users, or specific CDN reasons), you can do so by clicking “Install custom SSL”
