How to Install SSL in Webuzo Hosting: A Secure & Simple Guide

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is non-negotiable for website security—it encrypts data, boosts SEO rankings, and builds visitor trust. Below, we’ll walk you through installing SSL in Webuzo step by step.

Prerequisite: Ensure Your Domain Is Live

Before starting, confirm your domain is active and pointing to your Webuzo server. An inactive domain will block SSL installation.

Step 1: Log in to Webuzo

Begin by accessing your Webuzo control panel. If you’re new to Webuzo, follow our quick login guide to get started.

Step 2: Navigate to AutoSSL

Once logged in:

• Scroll down or use the left sidebar to find the “SSL” section.
• Click “AutoSSL”—this tool automates SSL certificate generation and installation.

Step 3: Install SSL for Your Domain

In the AutoSSL interface:

• Locate your domain name.
• Click “Install” next to it. Webuzo will instantly generate and deploy the SSL certificate.

• Note: Installation takes 1–2 minutes. Refresh the page to confirm success.

Step 4: Enable Forced SSL (Recommended)

To force all traffic to use HTTPS (enhancing security):

• Go to the Webuzo home page or left sidebar.
• Click “Manage Domain” → Select your domain.

• Toggle “Forced SSL” to ON. This redirects HTTP requests to HTTPS automatically.

Final Check

Visit your website using https://yourdomain.com. If the URL shows a padlock icon (🔒) and “Secure,” your SSL is working!
