How to activate free SSL on cPanel?

Today, SSL certificates are crucial for providing secure connections for websites and improving search engine rankings. Google, in particular, prioritizes sites that use SSL in its rankings. You can use either paid or free SSL certificates on your website. If your website is hosted under one of our hosting packages and the domain’s NS records are directed to the hosting package, the SSL setup is performed automatically. If NS records were directed later or under different circumstances, you can manually perform the installation. Follow the steps below to manually install a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate through cPanel.
