Overview #
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts the connection between your visitors and your site (the padlock in the browser bar). All Xponent sites run HTTPS with auto-renewing certificates. There is nothing you need to do.
Common Situations #
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| You add a domain/subdomain | We issue a new certificate for it |
| You move DNS to Xponent | Certificate is issued once DNS points to us |
| Certificate error appears | Usually a DNS/hosting issue outside our node: contact support and we’ll diagnose |
What You Should Do #
Nothing, day to day. If you ever see a browser “not secure” warning on your site, screenshot it and contact support: it’s almost always fixable in minutes, and we treat it as urgent since it affects visitor trust.
The Xponent Standard #
- Auto-installed: every site gets an SSL certificate at provisioning.
- Auto-renewed: certificates renew before expiry; you’ll never see a “not secure” warning caused by expiry.
- Auto-redirect: HTTP traffic redirects to HTTPS, so visitors always land on the secure version.
