AutoInstall SSL

This state-of-the-art technology works for all three types of SSL Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide communication security over the Internet.[1] TLS and SSL encrypt the segments of network connections at the Application Layer for the Transport Layer, using asymmetric cryptography for key exchange, symmetric encryption for confidentiality, and message authentication codes for message integrity. certificates – DV, OV, and EV. Additionally, AutoInstall SSL™ works across all major brands, like Symantec, RapidSSL, GeoTrust, and Sectigo.

AutoInstall SSL will generate the CSR, validate the domain, download and install the certificate, and verify the installation automatically. That's right, with the simple click of a button, virtually all of the time-consuming manual labor is automatically completed in real-time.

NOTE: For the validation of domain ownership, DNS records A DNS Record is the basic data element in the domain name system. Each record has a type (A, MX, etc.), an expiration time limit, a class, and some type-specific data. DNS Records provide resolution or translation of domain names to IP address. will automatically be applied to your domain name. In order for these records to be successfully checked for by the CA, your Webnames Hosting must be active and fully accessible (if you can visit your website in your web browser already, then you are good to go).

   • The CSR and Private Key The SSL Key, also known as a Private Key, is the secret key associated with your SSL certificate and should reside securely on your web server. When you create a CSR your web server will also create a SSL Key. When your SSL certificate has been issued, you will need to install the SSL certificate onto your web server - which effectively marries the SSL certificate to the SSL key. As the SSL key is only ever used by the web server it is a means of proving that the web server can legitimately use the SSL certificate. If you do not have, or lose either the SSL Key or the SSL certificate then you will no longer be able to use SSL on your web server. will be generated and verified
   • For Domain Validated (DV) certificates, DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. A Domain Name Service resolves queries for these names into IP addresses for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide. By providing a worldwide, distributed keyword-based redirection service, the Domain Name System is an essential component of the functionality of the Internet. Entries will be applied to your domain and checked for by the CA.
   • For Organization and Extended Validation EV SSL Certificates provide all the benefits of the Advantage SSL Certificates while also includeing prominent new trust indicators like a green address bar. (OV and EV) the validation processes are performed manually by the CA. In this case AutoInstall will pause until validation has completed.
   • Your SSL Certificate will be issued and automatically downloaded and installed by AutoInstall SSL

Visit your website at HTTPS HTTPS: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It uses encryption for secure communication over a computer network, and is widely used on the Internet. In HTTPS, the communication protocol is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or, formerly, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The protocol is therefore also referred to as HTTP over TLS, or HTTP over SSL.:// mydomain.ca to confirm that your website is now secured via SSL.
