SSL (HTTPS) is essential for security and SEO. NexzaHost includes free AutoSSL on all plans.

Step 1: Enable SSL in cPanel

Go to cPanel → SSL/TLS → Let's Encrypt and click "Issue" for your domain. SSL activates within minutes — no configuration required.

Step 2: Force HTTPS in WordPress

Install the Really Simple SSL plugin, or go to Settings → General in WordPress and update both URL fields to use https://.

Step 3: Verify

Visit your site and check for the padlock icon in the browser address bar. If the padlock is green or closed, HTTPS is working correctly.
