Shared hosting includes SSL support, while VPS customers manage SSL inside their own server stack.
- Shared hosting customers can usually enable SSL from cPanel once the domain points to the hosting account.
- DNS must resolve correctly before most automated SSL certificates can issue.
- VPS customers are responsible for configuring SSL in their web server, reverse proxy, application platform, or control panel.
- If SSL warnings continue after setup, open a ticket with the domain, browser warning, DNS provider, and where the site is hosted.
