Free SSL Certificate With Web Hosting

With an interest in a free SSL Certificate with your web hosting account, you're likely most interested in our free Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates. You're in luck! A2 Hosting protects your domain automatically with a free Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate by default. Our Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates offer you protection that is just as secure as paid SSL alternatives!

Are you looking for an affordable solution for securing a connection to your server not seen by the public. Our free Shared SSL Certificates offer the perfect solution!  Our Shared SSL Certificate features an A2 Hosting domain name in place of your domain name. The URL format for our shared SSL will look similar to "yourusername.wwwsr1.supercp.com". If you want to request your free shared SSL for your account, please open a support ticket on the A2 Hosting Customer Portal and our Guru Crew Support team can help you.

What Is A Free Shared SSL Certificate?

Our Shared SSL Certificates are setup globally across your server and are installed as a way for everyone on the server to be able to use the certificate. Our Shared SSL Certificates should not be used for eCommerce sites or any pages that are viewable by your audience. That's because there is a high likelihood that your audience could see a warning message pop up when visiting your site informing them that the SSL Certificate does not match your domain name. That's why these certificates are specifically recommended to secure areas of your site that your audience will not see.

Free Shared SSL Certificate Alternatives

If you're looking for an SSL Solution that will protect public facing portions of your site, A2 Hosting has got you covered! We have a number of SSL options, including our free Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates.
