SSL that renews itself — free with hosting

Every TetraHost plan includes a free SSL certificate, issued and renewed automatically. Premium OV and EV certificates are available when your business needs stronger validation.

Three reasons every site needs it

Browsers demand it. Chrome and Safari mark any page without HTTPS as Not Secure. Visitors see that warning before they read your headline, and many leave.

Google rewards it. HTTPS is a confirmed ranking signal. A site without it is competing with one hand tied.

Your customers deserve it. Without encryption, anything typed into your site — a login, a phone number, a card detail — travels in the open across every network in between.

Which certificate do you need?

  • Free SSL — issued by Let's Encrypt through cPanel AutoSSL. Right for websites, blogs and small stores. Included with every plan.
  • OV (organization validated) — verifies your company exists. Suits businesses handling customer data.
  • EV (extended validation) — the highest level, typically banks and large retailers.
  • Wildcard — one certificate covering unlimited subdomains.

How it works

You do not have to do anything

Issued on setup

cPanel AutoSSL requests a Let's Encrypt certificate the moment your domain points at our servers.

Renewed automatically

No expiry dates to diarise and no annual renewal invoice.

Monitored by us

If a renewal ever fails, our monitoring catches it before your visitors do.

FAQ

Questions about SSL

Is SSL really free?

Yes. Every hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate for your domain and subdomains, issued and renewed automatically. There is nothing to install and nothing to renew manually.

What is the difference between free, OV and EV?

A free certificate encrypts the connection and gives you the padlock — right for most websites and small stores. An OV certificate additionally verifies that your organization exists. An EV certificate is the highest validation level and is usually chosen by banks and large retailers.

Do I need SSL for SEO?

Yes, in practice. HTTPS is a ranking signal, and browsers mark pages without it as Not Secure — which costs you visitors before they read a word.

Will SSL slow my site down?

No. On modern servers with LiteSpeed and HTTP/2, an encrypted connection is effectively as fast as an unencrypted one, and often faster because HTTP/2 requires HTTPS.

Does it cover my subdomains?

The free certificate covers your domain and subdomains created in cPanel. If you need a wildcard certificate for unlimited subdomains, we can supply one.

What if my certificate expires?

It will not — renewal is automatic. If anything ever fails, our monitoring catches it and we fix it before you notice.
