Install SSL for Cpanel Server Hostname

Cpanel will provide Free SSL for the server hostname if the server hostname resolves to server’s main IP address and the server has a valid cpanel license.

Cpanel will check for hostname SSL when upcp runs. This is run once every day.

You can manually run an SSL check by running

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts

If you have a paid SSL, you can install it in

WHM > Service Configuration > Manage Service SSL Certificates

If you see previously used hostnames show up in the SSL certificate, you can run

mv /var/cpanel/hostname_history.json /var/cpanel/hostname_history.json.old
