Security and SSL

SSL setup (Let's Encrypt)

  1. Open domain in Websites & Domains.
  2. Go to SSL/TLS Certificates.
  3. Choose Let's Encrypt.
  4. Issue certificate for domain and www.
  5. Enable HTTP to HTTPS redirect.

Custom SSL setup

  1. Upload certificate (CRT), private key, and CA bundle.
  2. Assign cert to domain hosting settings.
  3. Test certificate chain in browser/SSL checker.

Basic hardening baseline

  • Change panel password regularly.
  • Enable 2FA if available.
  • Use FTPS/SFTP only.
  • Remove unused FTP/database users.

SSL troubleshooting

  • Wrong certificate on domain: re-assign cert to correct domain.
  • Expired cert: renew and verify auto-renew job.
  • Mixed content warning: replace http:// asset URLs.
