Generate a free SSL certificate



Our hosting packages are equipped with AutoSSL. This means that your domain name will automatically receive a free SSL certificate within a few hours after being added to your hosting package.

If you want to manually generate an SSL certificate, you can use one of the following methods:




Log in to https://voorbeeld.cc:2222 (or use Single Sign-On (SSO)).
Under Account Manager, click SSL Certificates.
Select the Use the best matching certificate tab.
Click the green SAVE button.
In the second submenu, click on Manual Trigger.
Check all three options:

Wildcard: [star].voorbeeld.cc, voorbeeld.cc
Sub-Domains
Domain Pointers

Click the TRIGGER AGAIN FOR THIS DOMAIN button.

An SSL certificate will now be generated for all domain names and subdomains. This process can take approximately 30 minutes.

You can monitor progress via:

Next New Attempts (pending requests)
Certificate (installed certificates)


🔒 Method 2



Log in to https://voorbeeld.cc:2222 (or use Single Sign-On (SSO)).
Under Account Manager, click SSL Certificates.
Select the Get automatic certificate from ACME Provider tab.
Select the domains and subdomains for which you want to generate an SSL certificate.
Click the green SAVE button at the bottom of the page.

Depending on the number of domains, it will take about 30 minutes for the Let's Encrypt certificates to be generated.

⚠️ Important:

If generating the SSL certificate fails, do not keep retrying. First resolve the returned error to avoid temporary blocks.
Only properly linked domains and subdomains can receive a free SSL certificate.
Always ensure your DNS settings are correctly configured before requesting a certificate.

📌 Important:

Replace voorbeeld.cc with your actual domain name.
