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.
