Automatic HTTPS
Automatic HTTPS, Zero effort
Get free SSL on your websites. No manual certificates. No extra fees. Just security and better SEO. If you are paying for certificates today, it is time to switch.
Webdock issues and renews your SSL/TLS certificates automatically via Let’s Encrypt and ACME. Certbot is preinstalled on our standard stacks, so your domains are secured without scripts or support tickets.
Comparison
Free vs paid SSL – What is the difference
For most websites, Free SSL via Let’s Encrypt is the right choice. If you need EV or audit-specific compliance, bring your own certificate and use it on Webdock.
Point your domain, enable Free SSL, and let renewals run on their own.
From domain to HTTPS in three steps
Step 1
Point your domain to your server
Update your DNS records, then test the domain in Server Identity to confirm it resolves.
Step 2
Enable Free SSL
We issue the Let's Encrypt certificate automatically and set up the HTTP to HTTPS redirect.
Step 3
We keep it renewed
Certbot renews on a systemd timer every 60-90 days. You do not need to do anything.
