How do I manage Free SSL for Windows Hosting?

Enabling Abaco Hosting's free SSL is quick and easy. By enabling an SSL for your website, your domain name will resolve with “HTTPS://” instead of “HTTP://” in the browser. This means that your website will be labelled as “secure” in most web browsers. This article will help guide you through enabling the Free SSL provided by Abaco Hosting.

If you are interested in our Premium Paid SSL certificates, please visit our website and select the SSL plan that works the best for you.

Note
  • If you do not have a web hosting package with Abaco Hosting, you will be unable to use the Free SSL.
  • If you have bought a domain name via another provider, you will need to ensure your domain name’s A Record is pointing to the IP Address associated with your Abaco Hosting website. This will ensure your hosting package works as expected and you can use the Free SSL provided with your hosting package. Failing to do this will result into your Free SSL not working.
  • If you are using a 3rd party CDN, login to your CDN provider’s dashboard and locate their SSL management page. From there, you can copy and paste the SSL certificate and key information we provide in your hosting panel.
