If there are blockers or reasons that you are hesitating to upgrade, please let me know! ==================== In July of this year …

It’s in Portland, Oregon this year, have …

In cPanel & WHM version 58 we introduced a new feature called AutoSSL. I posted about AutoSSL before, but in case you haven’t heard of it yet: AutoSSL allows you to enable a feature in your cPanel & WHM account package which triggers the automatic request and installation of Domain Validated Comodo-signed SSLs for your customers, free of charge. Security is incredibly important to us, and this is a feature we’ve been working on for a very …
Update: If you’re looking for information about integrating Let’s Encrypt via AutoSSL see this blog post: Let’s Encrypt with cPanel & WHM and AutoSSL ————- Three and a half years ago (in a galaxy far, far away) cPanel began planning a feature that we hoped would make the entire internet safer and more secure.
