SSL Certificates

TLS certificate estates issued, installed, automated and monitored across websites, mail, control panels and internal services so nothing expires unnoticed.

Engineering capabilities

  • DV, OV and EV certificate selection per service
  • Wildcard and multi-domain (SAN) planning
  • Let's Encrypt / ACME automation with renewal hooks
  • Full chain installation on web, mail and panel services
  • Expiry inventory and alerting

Security & hardening

  • Modern cipher suites and TLS 1.2 / 1.3 only
  • HSTS and redirect policy where appropriate
  • Private key handling and permissions reviewed
  • CAA records limiting who may issue for the domain

Certificate lifecycle

Certificates are inventoried, issued to a plan, installed with the full chain and renewed automatically u2014 expiry should never be an incident.

  1. 01

    Inventory

    • Websites
    • Mail services
    • Control panels
    • Internal services

    Every endpoint terminating TLS is listed with its issuer and expiry date.

  2. 02

    Issuance

    • DV certificates
    • OV / EV certificates
    • Wildcard
    • Multi-domain SAN

    Validation level chosen per service; public sites and payment paths are treated differently from internal tools.

  3. 03

    Automation

    • ACME / Let's Encrypt
    • Renewal hooks
    • Panel integration

    Renewal runs unattended, with reload hooks so services actually pick up the new certificate.

  4. 04

    Assurance

    • Full chain check
    • TLS 1.2 / 1.3 only
    • HSTS
    • CAA records

    Configuration is tested externally after every change, not assumed from the panel.

Frequently asked questions

Is a free certificate as secure as a paid one?

The encryption is identical. Paid certificates buy organisation validation, longer terms, warranties and support u2014 useful for public-facing commerce, unnecessary for most internal services.

Why does the site show a certificate warning after installing?

Almost always a missing intermediate certificate. The full chain has to be installed, which is why every change is verified with an external checker.

Should we use a wildcard certificate?

It simplifies many subdomains on one platform, but one private key then covers everything. Where hosts are administered by different people, separate certificates are safer.

Can renewals be automated on cPanel or Plesk?

Yes. Both panels support ACME issuance, and renewal plus service reload is configured so certificates never lapse.
