Domains and SSL

Free SSL certificates and HTTPS

Issue, renew, force HTTPS, fix common errors.

  1. Issue
  2. Force HTTPS
  3. If issuing fails

Issue

Automatic: every 30 minutes we check each name (the domain and its aliases) and issue or renew the certificate for every name that points to us — a name that does not yet (say www still at the old host) waits without blocking the rest.

Force HTTPS

Tick Always use HTTPS and Save changes. Undo is offered for 10 minutes.

If issuing fails

  • An alias (like shop.yourdomain.com) has no DNS record — remove it or add the record
  • Cloudflare "Always Use HTTPS" with SSL mode Flexible — use Full
