How do I install an SSL certificate? Print

  • 0

You may sometimes receive messages in your browser that include, but are not limited to:

  • "Your connection is not private" (Chrome)
  • "Your connection to this site is not secure" (Firefox)
  • "This site is not secure" (Internet Explorer)

This typically occurs if your SSL does not have a valid SSL certificate.

Below are the steps to follow to issue your free SSL certificate (powered by Sectigo).

1) Login to cPanel at yourdomain.com/cpanel
2) Scroll down to "SECURITY" and click on "SSL/TLS Status"
3) Click on "Run AutoSSL"

If your domain's DNS resolves correctly (if you are using our name servers, it definitely should do), the certificate will be issued

You should now be all set!

TIP: If you visit your domain with https in the address bar, but receive a certificate warning, try clearing your browser cache, using another browser, or, failing that, waiting up to 5 minutes for the certificate to install.

Want to force traffic to use the HTTPS variant of your website?

The below steps assume you have installed an SSL certificate as instructed above.

Simply edit your .htaccess file (or create one if you don't have one already) and add the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Everything is working as expected

I was looking for a simple syncthing server and didn't need anything fancy. I found Ethernet servers on server hunter and chose them because of their low price and good reviews. I had access to my server within a few minutes. It was easy for me to change the ubuntu to Centos and everything is working as expected.

Great service overall thus far

Three reasons I decided to try out the service: I heard and subsequently saw that the prices were great, it is very hard to beat those unmanaged special offer prices. I heard that the service was reliable, so far so good. It's only been a week, but I hope that it will continue to be reliable as I use it more. I heard that the support is excellent, and I have to agree. Great service overall thus far.

The networks are top of the line

Great upload and download speeds, apt-get updating is a breeze. The only mishaps was on my end, ssh had some weird buffer lag (sometimes unresponsiveness) that has to do with my connection with my isp. Just make sure your connection stable and everything should work just fine. The networks are top of the line.

Nothing but a joyful experience

Been with them for a week and the transition from old hosting to ethernetserver has been nothing but a joyful experience. Setting up new vps, networking is like a breeze. All set up by george and nothing to worry about really.
