SSL Expiration. How to renew?
Hello,
Sometime last year a cPanel SSL certificate was included to my domain. It was not paid for so I believe it was free from cPanel.Today it expired and the site is unavailable (warning message).
I did notice a Auto Install SSL icon in Cpanel. When I click it, it took me to a page and asked for a Token ID and Token to verify. Since the SSL certificate was installed automatically prior, I don't have a token or token id. The only other option is SSL/TLS(private keys, CSR, CRT Install and Manage) and SSL/TLS Status (shows domain and expired certs).
Not sure what I need to do to renew the certificate. I've reached out to my host(Newtek) and waiting for a response. Any assistance here is appreciated.

According to my host it seems the SSL cert was a complimentary cert from Cpanel and that I would need to purchase a new SSL. I can buy through them, but the cheapest price is 29.99. It might be a bit much since no e-commerce is occurring on the domain. Unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't seem like cPanel offers SSl certs. What a mess, since google has my site indexed with https. 0 -
You can save the $29.99. Ask your hosting company that you require LetsEncrypt SSL certificate, which is supported out of the box by Cpanel/WHM and is a one click install. Also it is free.

Hello @gpalz, The AutoSSL feature included with cPanel & WHM allows for free signed SSL certificates, but it doesn't appear your web hosting provider is using the AutoSSL feature. The image you provided shows a third-party feature named "AutoInstallSSL", which isn't the same thing. I recommend reaching out to your web hosting company to inquire if the AutoSSL feature is available. Thank you. 0
