Customers with a VPS/Dedicated hosting plan

You may have received an email from the cPanel team with a subject heading that follows: 
Your Free cPanel-signed Hostname SSL Certificate
. Read further to learn about what this email means and how it affects you.  

 What Does This Mean? 

 

 cPanel has issued a free SSL meant to provide certification for the default hostname of your server. This means you and your child cPanel account users will no longer see the   

/website/ssl/self-signed-ssl-certificate-warningSelf-signed" SSL browser warning  
 when visiting cPanel or WHM. This is a convenient feature expected to eliminate confusion.

 What Do I Need to Do? 

 

 No action is required on the part of any customers. This change will be applied automatically after receipt of the email notification. Quoted from the email: "Your free certificate will renew automatically, less than one week before its expiration date, at no cost to you."
