Every StackCP Web Hosting package comes with a free wildcard SSL certificate, enabling you to use the more secure HTTPS protocol to keep your site users secure.

To activate the SSL, you’ll need to make sure you’ve pointed the domain name to our nameservers. The required nameservers are:

StackCP Nameservers #

  • ns1.stackdns.com
  • ns2.stackdns.com
  • ns3.stackdns.com
  • ns4.stackdns.com

Follow these steps to activate your free SSL:

  1. Go to Manage Hosting:
    • Log in to your StackCP control panel.
    • Select the hosting package you want to manage.
  2. Activate SSL:
    • Select Options > Manage on the hosting package for which you wish to activate the SSL.
    • Under the Security section, click on the SSL/TLS icon.
    • You will see your domain name listed with an option to Activate Free SSL next to it. Click this to apply the SSL to your domain.
  3. Enforce SSL:
    • If you want all your visitors to use SSL connections (i.e., for HTTPS to always be used), select the Enable option at the bottom of the page.

Once the SSL Certificate has been activated, it will take up to 30 minutes to secure your website. This delay is due to the necessary changes being made on our load balancers.
