What is AutoSSL and how it protects your website
Learn what AutoSSL is, how it issues certificates automatically and why it helps keep your website running over HTTPS.
Introduction
AutoSSL is a feature that automates SSL certificate issuance, installation and renewal on many hosting servers and control panels.
Its goal is to let a domain use HTTPS without requiring the user to renew the certificate manually.
How it helps protect a website
When AutoSSL works correctly, it:
- Activates an encrypted connection between browser and server.
- Helps avoid “not secure” warnings.
- Reduces problems caused by expired certificates.
- Simplifies technical hosting maintenance.
Conclusion
AutoSSL does not replace other security measures, but it makes it much easier to keep a website protected with active and renewed SSL.
