cPanel + WHM SSL Hostname question setup
For a short time my hostname of cPanel + WHM were covered by Let's Encrypt. That is no longer the case with an update which happened late last summer. I am looking for some best practice guidance to setting up my cPanel + WHM host with a TLS certificate and installing it onto the cPanel + WHM host. I may have missed it but I don't see documentation describing such a process and was looking for guidance on the topic. I purchased a SSL certificate from Godaddy for my domain. Thanks in advance for your and apologies if this has been answered but I am just missing the relevant link.

By default there should be a valid cert from Comodo/cPanel for the hostname if it resolves properly. If you want to use your own cert, you'll need to generate a CSR and get that signed. You can then install it via "Manage Service SSL Certificates" under Service Configuration. Personally we have not done this for a long time as the Comodo/cPanel ones generally work fine.

Is there a troubleshooting document I can follow for when I am not getting a valid cert from Comodo/cPanel? Both my cPanel servers had valid TLS certs but around 60 days ago that changed and I noticed when I logged into WHM I was getting the not valid cert message in my browser.

For context I am referring to the host whm + cpanel server itself.

Can you run the following and let us know the output?
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts --verbose

^^^ I would expect that command to tell us the reason why the SSL isn't being automatically issued for your system.
