Host mate Secure SSL Certificates, AUD 0.00/yr. on SSL Certificates

Secure SSL Certificates are a free SSL certificate option for Hostmate web hosting customers, with free renewal included. The certificates are available with any Hostmate hosting plan and can be ordered as a hosting addon when the hosting account is created or afterwards from the account login area. The certificate coverage includes the main domain, subdomains, and addon domains on the hosting account. Certificates are issued through cPanel using Let's Encrypt, and they provide normal browser-trusted protection so visitors see a padlock rather than security warnings. The certificate uses 2048 bit signatures and 256 bit encryption, and it can secure websites, customer data, hosted email access, and related domain traffic. The free SSL service is designed to remove the need for a paid certificate on standard hosted sites, especially where several hosted domains or subdomains need encryption under one cPanel hosting service.

The SSL service works together with the shared hosting platform rather than as a stand-alone paid certificate catalog. It is useful for WordPress, business sites, email accounts, addon domains, and subdomains hosted under Hostmate because SSL can be enabled without a separate certificate charge. SSL is part of the broader security stack that includes cPanel, LiteSpeed hosting, backups, virus scanning, Imunify360 protection, DDoS mitigation, and Australian support through the ticket system. Prices include GST, even though the SSL certificate price is zero. Payment methods for paid services on the same account include PayPal and major credit cards, and account support is handled through the website helpdesk without phone support.
