Hostm Our HTTPS hosting feature allows you to secure your website traffic by having SSL certificates such as free Let’s Encrypt certificates installed on your domains and subdomains.
This allows your websites to be accessible via TLS/SSL, which causes a padlock icon to be shown in your visitors’ web browsers.
For a full list of the benefits of HTTPS hosting, check out our article that reveals the 6 Important Benefits of Installing SSL on All of Your Websites.
An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital item that’s purchased or obtained from a Certificate Authority (CA) for a domain. It can then be installed on that domain’s web server in order to secure its traffic.
We offer 100% FREE SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt, so that you can secure all of your websites hosted in your HostM account, whether they’re business, personal or non-commercial sites.
Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates can utilize 4096-bit private keys and feature full SHA-2 and wildcard support as well as 256-bit encryption, the same level of security used by reputable banks and large ecommerce storefronts.
When you add a domain to your hosting account, HostM automatically installs FREE SSL on it. The installation typically takes less than 2 minutes to complete. We also take care of automatic SSL renewals for you.
