Installing Free SSL on Your Website
Hostiviq provides free AutoSSL certificates for all hosting accounts. HTTPS protects your visitors and improves your Google ranking.
Method 1: AutoSSL (Automatic)
Hostiviq automatically installs SSL certificates for your domains. This usually happens within minutes of your hosting being set up. No action required!
Method 2: Force SSL in cPanel
If your site still shows HTTP, force HTTPS:
- Log into cPanel
- Go to Security → SSL/TLS
- Click Force HTTPS Redirect
- Toggle it ON for your domain
Method 3: Force SSL via .htaccess
Add this to your .htaccess file in public_html:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Mixed Content: If your browser shows a padlock with a warning, you likely have mixed content (HTTP images or scripts). Update all resource URLs to HTTPS.
