If your service provides AutoSSL, cPanel can manage certificate issuance and renewal for your domains according to the enabled options.
Check the domain and DNS
The domain must exist in the account and resolve correctly to the hosting server. Also check the subdomains you want covered and any CAA restrictions.
Check or run AutoSSL
- Open SSL/TLS Status or the status tab in SSL/TLS Certificates.
- Check the domain names and their status.
- If Run AutoSSL or an equivalent action is available, run it.
- Wait, then review the result and validation messages.
The button may be absent depending on the version and permitted features. Contact support rather than changing server files.
Test HTTPS and renewal
Open the website over HTTPS, check the covered names and expiration date, then test redirects. Issuing a certificate does not automatically update every application URL.
If issuance fails
Send support the domain and validation message. Do not share a private key. A DNS change, CAA restriction or web rule blocking validation can explain a failure.
