Free SSL Hosting Questions
Is SSL really free on all plans?
Yes. AutoSSL via Let's Encrypt is included on every dotCanada hosting plan at no extra cost. No credit card required for SSL.
Do I need to install the SSL manually?
No. AutoSSL detects your domains automatically and issues certificates without any manual steps on your part.
What happens when the SSL expires?
Let's Encrypt certificates renew every 90 days. AutoSSL handles renewal automatically - your site stays secure without any action from you.
Can I use a paid SSL certificate instead?
Yes. If you need an OV or EV certificate, you can install a third-party SSL certificate through cPanel's SSL/TLS manager.
Does SSL work on subdomains?
Yes. AutoSSL issues certificates for all subdomains in your account. Wildcard certificates are also available if needed.
Will SSL help my Google rankings?
HTTPS is a confirmed Google ranking signal. Beyond rankings, SSL builds visitor trust and is required for modern browser security indicators.
Free SSL - Included on Every Plan
HTTPS active on every domain you host - automatically issued, automatically renewed. No SSL purchases, no configuration, no expiry surprises.
