Enabling HTTPS (SSL certificate)

What it is

SSL displays the padlock and https:// in front of your address. It encrypts the exchanges between your visitors and your site: it's essential for trust and search ranking.

How it works with us

A free SSL certificate is usually issued automatically for your domain as soon as it points to your hosting. You can check its status in the SSL tab of the panel.

Setup (step by step)

1. Make sure your domain points to your hosting (DNS A record).
2. Open the SSL tab: the certificate should be active (or being issued).
3. In your site (e.g. WordPress settings), force the address to https://.

Frequently asked questions

"Not secure" still shows. This is often content loaded over http (an image, a script). Check that all the addresses on your site use https.
