SSL Certificates

SSL certificates encrypt data transferred between your website and visitors.

Key Points​

  • All websites should have SSL enabled for secure connections.
  • Certificates can be managed from your hosting panel.
  • SiteForge supports both automatic Let's Encrypt certificates and custom third-party certificates.
  • You can usually force HTTPS after the certificate is active.

Typical Steps to Enable SSL​

  1. Log in to your hosting panel.
  2. Open the website you want to manage.
  3. Go to the website's Security area and open SSL Certificates.
  4. Enable or install the certificate.
  5. Once active, enable forced HTTPS if the website should always redirect to the secure version.
  6. Verify that HTTPS loads correctly on the live domain.
