How to force SSL in cPanel

Published: July 31, 2023

Forcing SSL consists of the procedures we can take to redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS. This means every single page and file in your hosting will be sent through a secure connection.

If you’ve set up your application through Installatron, it’s important your website is installed in the https:// directory. You can select this option in the Location section of the Advanced tab in your Installatron Applications through your cPanel dashboard.

Force SSL through cPanel Domain options

1. Login to your cPanel account.

2. In the Domains section, click Domains.

3. Here, find your Primary or Main Domain that has the Document Root of public_html. Toggle the option Force HTTPS Redirect to ON. Do this for other secondary domains if available. The toggle is applied automatically.

4. Test by navigating to your website after clearing your browser’s cache.
