When your account is created, cPanel will automatically provision and install an SSL certificate with an expiration of 90 days. When the certificate nears its expiration date, cPanel will automatically renew it. SSL certificates provisioned in this way can be used with the default web.illinois.edu domain or with custom domains and addon domains. If you do not wish to use the AutoSSL feature, you may install a certificate you have requested from the Illinois Certificate Manager using the SSL/TLS feature from your cPanel dashboard. Another feature cPanel provides is the option to easily force all traffic to the secure version of your website. You can find this option within the Domains feature from your cPanel dashboard. cPanel provides a web-based file manager to work with the files in your account.
