A secure website is no longer optional — browsers warn visitors away from any site without it, and Google factors it into rankings. That’s why free SSL certificates are now automatically installed on every domain hosted with IAMEM Hosting. No setup, no cost, no expiry headaches — every site gets the padlock by default.
What’s Included
Powered by Let’s Encrypt through cPanel’s AutoSSL, every domain and subdomain on your account now receives a trusted SSL certificate automatically. The certificates are issued, installed, and renewed for you — so you never have to think about them again.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Certificate authority | Let’s Encrypt (trusted by all browsers) |
| Coverage | Every domain & subdomain on the account |
| Cost | Free on all plans |
| Renewal | Automatic — no action needed |
Why HTTPS Matters
- Security — encrypts data between your visitors and the server, protecting logins, forms, and payments.
- Trust — removes the “Not Secure” warning that drives visitors away.
- SEO — HTTPS is a confirmed Google ranking signal.
- Modern features — HTTP/2, HTTP/3, and many browser capabilities require HTTPS.
How to Make Sure Your Site Uses It
The certificate is installed automatically, but to serve every visitor over HTTPS you should redirect HTTP traffic. On WordPress, set your site URL to https:// and the platform handles the rest. For other sites, add a redirect to your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]If you see a “mixed content” warning, update any internal links or assets that still point to http://.
Checking Your Certificate
You can confirm SSL status any time in cPanel under SSL/TLS Status, where every domain should show a green, AutoSSL-managed certificate. Since renewal is automatic, you’ll never face an unexpected expiry again.
Secure by Default
Every site deserves to be secure, so we’ve made it the default. Free, automatic SSL is now part of every IAMEM Hosting plan — one less thing for you to manage, and one more reason your visitors can trust your site.
