SSL Certificate on Root Domain + Subdomains


Austin

Recommended Posts

Hello! I recently got approved for MOFH. However, there isn't an SSL certificate/HTTPS on root domain or any subdomains. Is there a way to get SSL certificate on root domain and all subdomains (excluding subdomains for free hosting accounts, when I say subdomain, I mean cpanel, www, ftp, ns1, ns2, etc).

Also, I know you can edit your name servers to Cloudflare and have SSL certificate. However, it ruins the ns and the ftp. I want to get SSL while keeping all 4 byet ns.

Hello,
The answer is yes!!! I just made a tutorial for how to get one you can see it here: https://www.byet.net/index.php?/topic/13256-how-to-get-https-on-free-hosting/

That certificate will work only for main domain and you won't get ssl for your cpanel.

To get ssl on cpanel you don't have to do anything but wait. SSL will be automatically generated for your cpanel and If you don't want to wait, you can connect your website to cloudflare from your cpanel and you'll get ssl for your subdomains I think.

I think that should solve your problem.

Won't prefer doing that on reseller domain as it will damage your site functionality.

As far as I know, It won't effect site functionality... That problem would be caused if we change our nameservers to cloudflare nameservers. But we can use cloudflare from our cpanel without changing nameservers. That way our DNS controls remain with mofh while we get security from Cloudflare.

Yes, activating cloudflare from cpanel will work, but it won't install SSL on subdomains. It will only install the SSL Certificate on the connected main domain.

Also, you have to change form action url protocol to https from http in signup.php file.

But as far as I am aware that cloudflare integration do have some other problems due to which it wasn't preffered.
