SSL certificates protect the transmission of user sensitive information and give consumers more confidence when purchasing from an online vendor
Taking advantage of Black Cat Hosting's Free SSL is easy. Enabling (or forcing) the SSL will give your domain an "HTTPS://" prefix, which ensures your website will be labelled as "secure" in most web browsers.
The Free SSL will be automatically added to every domain for new and existing cPanel platform customers.
The Free SSL lasts for 90 days from issuance and renews automatically at no cost to you so your site hosted with Black Cat Hosting should never be without an SSL.
If you do have an existing paid SSL certificate installed it will not be affected and will remain active. Any expired paid SSL certificate will automatically convert to the Free SSL if the domain has not opted-out.
Our Windows customers will receive this functionality late 2018. Black Cat Hosting will also be performing hardware upgrades and software upgrades. The software upgrades will provide SNI support to be able to have multiple domains covered by a SSL certificate on a single package as well as having full trust for the application pool.
New customers will be able to add or opt-out of the Free SSL upon account sign-up.
Note: The Free SSL will not come with any warranty or site logo. For these features, the Free SSL must be upgraded to a Positive or EV SSL Certificate.
Step by Step Guide for Enabling your Free SSL
1. If you have a website hosted and pointed to a Black Cat Hosting website hosting package, your SSL should be ready to use and can proceed to the next step to direct your customers to HTTPS. If your domain name is managed by another provider, you will need to ensure that an a record has been created for your domain that is associated with your Black Cat Hosting website hosting package via your domain provider's dashboard. Otherwise, you will be unable to use the Free SSL.
2. The Free SSL does not automatically force HTTPS onto the domain and will need to be manually updated. This can be completed via updating the .htaccess to force HTTPS on every page.
