<p>Every HostVyx hosting plan includes free SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt AutoSSL. Here's how to enable it.</p>
<h5>Enable AutoSSL in Virtualmin</h5>
<ol>
<li>Log in to Virtualmin</li>
<li>Click <strong>SSL Certificate</strong> in the left sidebar</li>
<li>Select <strong>Let's Encrypt</strong> tab</li>
<li>Click <strong>Request Certificate</strong></li>
<li>Virtualmin will automatically obtain and install the certificate</li>
</ol>
<h5>Automatic Renewal</h5>
<p>Let's Encrypt certificates are valid for 90 days. Virtualmin automatically renews them before expiry, so no manual intervention is needed once set up.</p>
<h5>Verifying SSL</h5>
<p>After installation, visit <code>https://yourdomain.co.za</code> and check the padlock icon in your browser. You can also use online SSL checkers to verify the certificate chain.</p>
<h5>Custom SSL Certificates</h5>
<p>If you prefer a paid SSL certificate (e.g., OV or EV certificates), you can upload it through the same SSL Certificate section in Virtualmin.</p>
