How to install SSL certificate for my custom domains?

In GetResponse we offer your custom domains an SSL certificate that is installed automatically whenever you add a domain. The certificate installation can take up to 1 hour.

Important: SSL certificates will be generated only for active domains. Domains in the waiting status will not be certified. The installation of the certificate will launch automatically after the domain status changes from waiting to active. We’ve added automatic redirection for custom domains with SSL certificate assigned. If SSL certificate has been generated and the domain is available over https protocol, every request to this domain will be redirected to https://.

To manage the SSL certificates for your custom domains, go to Profile > Manage account > Domains or take this shortcut. Under Landing page domains section you will find a list of the domains added to your account.

Domains can have three statuses:

  • SSL inactive – indicated by a grey unlocked padlock,
  • SSL pending – indicated by a grey locked padlock,
  • SSL active – indicated by a green locked padlock.
