SSL Certificates
Enable SSL on hosting
Turn on HTTPS for your website on Nisc Cloud shared or WordPress hosting.
This guide covers enabling SSL/HTTPS on shared and WordPress hosting where Nisc Cloud provides one-click or automatic certificates (often LetNisc Cloud's Encrypt).
Before you enable SSL
- Your domain must point to this hosting correct nameservers or A record in DNS.
- Website loads on HTTP at your domain (certificate validates domain ownership).
- Allow a few hours after DNS changes before requesting SSL.
Request SSL from hosting
Steps vary slightly by panel version:
- Sign in at npanel.nisccloud.com.
- Click Hosting → your website.
- Open Overview or look for SSL, Security, or LetNisc Cloud's Encrypt.
- Click Enable SSL, Issue certificate, or AutoSSL.
- Select domain names to secure (
yourdomain.com,www.yourdomain.com). - Submit and wait 1–15 minutes.
- Status should show Active or Installed.
If SSL is ordered as separate product, open that service in dashboard and follow install prompts.
Force HTTPS (redirect HTTP to HTTPS)
After certificate is active, visitors should use https:// automatically.
WordPress:
- Log in to
https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin. - Settings → General change WordPress Address and Site Address to
https://. - Or use a redirect plugin / hosting Force HTTPS toggle if available.
Static / HTML sites:
- In File Manager, edit
.htaccessin web root (Apache) or configure Nginx redirect (VPS). - Add host-provided redirect snippet or ask support for template.
Verify HTTPS works
- Open
https://yourdomain.comin browser. - Click padlock icon → certificate should be valid and match domain.
- Test
https://www.yourdomain.comif you secured both names.
Renewal
LetNisc Cloud's Encrypt certificates expire every 90 days. Nisc Cloud hosting usually auto-renews if domain still points correctly. Check SSL status monthly under hosting SSL section.
Paid certificates renew via Billing → Invoices reinstall new cert files if manual install.
