What is AutoSSL?
Because it automatically instals and renews cPanel/Sectigo certificates for each domain in cPanel, AutoSSL is a WHM/cPanel solution activated by default in your hosting account.
AutoSSL automatically examines each domain and, if necessary, instals new cPanel/Sectigo certificates or renews those that are already in place.
Through cPanel > SSL/TLS Status, you can quickly verify, manage, or omit a particular domain from AutoSSL.

2. Next, select Run AutoSSL.
3. You may have to wait for 1 hour for the free SSL installation. Make sure to check the “+ Include during AutoSSL” under the chosen domain/subdomain in the list of domains.
