What SSL means on OneNet Servers

Applies to: Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting, and domains connected to a live OneNet website.

SSL keeps traffic between your website and your visitors encrypted. It is what makes the browser show https and a padlock.

What to know

  • Most standard OneNet hosting plans use free Let's Encrypt certificates by default.
  • A Premium SSL certificate is only needed when you specifically buy one for brand, warranty, validation, or compatibility reasons.
  • If your domain is newly pointed to OneNet, SSL may not appear immediately while DNS finishes updating.
  • HTTPS protects login forms, contact forms, checkout data, and other information people send to your site.

Next steps on OneNet Servers

  • If you need normal website encryption, start with the free Let's Encrypt path.
  • If you purchased a Premium SSL, use the Premium SSL article in this knowledgebase for the exact OneNet process.
  • If WordPress still loads mixed http content after SSL is active, use the WordPress HTTPS article next.
