Free Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates & HTTP/3 Acceleration
Every domain and subdomain hosted on Veltis is automatically issued a trusted Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificate. ### Automated AutoSSL - Once your domain points to Veltis nameservers, AutoSSL verifies ownership via ACME HTTP-01 challenges and issues a certificate within 5 minutes. - Certificates automatically renew 30 days before expiration with zero downtime. ### Forcing HTTPS To redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS, enable **Force HTTPS** in Veltis Panel under **SSL / TLS Management**, or add the following rewrite rule to `.htaccess`: ```apache RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] ```
