Yes – once an SSL certificate is installed for your domain, your site is available securely at https://www.yourdomain.com with a padlock in the browser. A dedicated IP address is not required.
How to get set up
- Choose and order a certificate. We offer Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV), and Extended Validation (EV) certificates, including Wildcard and Multi-Domain / UC options. Browse and order at https://4goodhosting.com/billing2/index.php/store/ssl-certificates, or contact our support team for help choosing.
- Complete validation. For a DV certificate you confirm control of the domain (usually by email or a DNS/file check). OV and EV certificates also verify your organization.
- Installation. Once the certificate is issued, we install it on your hosting for you.
- Force HTTPS. In cPanel open Domains and turn on Force HTTPS Redirect so visitors always use the secure version. WordPress sites should also set the site address to https:// under Settings > General.
To confirm it is working, visit https://www.yourdomain.com and check for the padlock. If you need any help ordering or installing a certificate, open a ticket at https://4goodhosting.com/support/.
