Install an SSL using AutoSSL on my Web Hosting (cPanel)
We’ve added AutoSSL, a cPanel feature which periodically scans your Web Hosting (cPanel) account and will automatically install a free DV SSL (or renew expired certificates) on domains that meet the install requirements. If needed for troubleshooting, you can also manually run AutoSSL.
Required: For AutoSSL to work on your domain you must:
- Add your domain to your cPanel account.
- Point your domain's DNS to your Web Hosting (cPanel) IP address (including Web Application Firewalls and Content Delivery Networks).
- Make sure existing SSL certificates on your domain are expired or uninstalled.
Note: AutoSSL is included with most Web Hosting (cPanel) plans. You can view our website for details.
- Sign in to your GoDaddy product page.
- Select Web Hosting. Then, next to the Linux Hosting account you want to use, select Manage.
- In the hosting account Dashboard, select cPanel Admin.
- On the cPanel home page, in the Security section, select SSL/TLS Status.
- Select the checkboxes for your desired domains, or select the top checkbox to select all.
- Select Run AutoSSL.
A success message will confirm your SSL successfully installed. Your AutoSSL certificates will automatically be renewed.
