Wait up to 90 minutes.

  • It usually takes up to 30 minutes to issue the certificate.
  • It can take up to 30 minutes to reset the active certificate.

If HTTPS still does not work after 90 minutes or you observe errors, please contact &boxboxbox; customer support. Please provide the name of the service and the text of the error message.

Done! 🎉

After successfully activating HTTPS, we recommend that you set it up on the web.
