How to Use AutoSSL Certificate

With AutoSSL, SellCloud can automatically issue, deploy, and renew SSL certificates for your apps. We're proud to have made SellCloud's AutoSSL the industry standard for painless deployment of free SSL certificates. SellCloud's AutoSSL became so quickly well-known and in such demand that other control panels adopted the same feature name in their attempts to make an SSL deployment feature. (We're quite flattered but we hope they improve their usability so as not to tarnish the name AutoSSL.)

AutoSSL certificates are fully trusted by browsers just as certificates you purchase from a certificate authority (CA). There's no need for you to generate a certificate signing request (CSR), pay a CA for each certificate, or worry about renewing certificates when they expire.

There is no limit to the number of apps or domains you can have secured with AutoSSL.

AutoSSL is a feature of our plus plan that cost $10 more

Enabling AutoSSL

Before AutoSSL will be available for an app, you must first add the app's domains in Apps's section.

Once you've added your app's domains, you'll have an AutoSSL option available in your app's SSL section.

When you click on Enable AutoSSL, SellCloud will enable SSL for your app using an AutoSSL certificate. This certificate will be automatically renewed by SellCloud before it expires.

Requirements

SellCloud can issue AutoSSL certificates for apps that meet the following requirements of our certificate provider, Let's Encrypt:

1. DNS for your domains must resolve to your server or, if you use a CDN like CloudFlare, the CDN must be configured to proxy requests to your server.
2. Your domains can be an internationalized domain names (IDNs). AutoSSL certificates can now include IDNs as Let's Encrypt began supporting IDNs in October 2016.
3. Your domains cannot be wildcard domains.
4. Each app can have at most 100 domains. Each subdomain counts as a separate domain. i.e. For example, I have domain mydomain.com and I want to create sub1.mydomain.com to sub99.mydomain.com. So total is 100 (including main domain and 99 subdomains). If you have a lot of subdomains say example 250, you might be better off with a wildcard certificate, which is valid for all subdomains of a given private domain.

If any of your apps' domains are not available for AutoSSL, you will see the reason why in the app's SSL tab.
