After creating a hosting account or adding an addon domain, cPanel will automatically install an SSL certificate on your domain. The installation may take about 20 minutes if the domain has already propagated across the internet with our DNS servers. If the installation fails, cPanel will periodically attempt to install the SSL.
If you want to force the SSL installation process or check the status, you can do it yourself via the cPanel platform by following these steps:
1. Log in to your cPanel account
2. Select the SSL/TLS Certificates option (or find it using the "Search Tools" at the top of the cPanel home page)
3. Check the box next to the domain (subdomain) for which you want to install SSL
On the right side, the system will display the message: Running Domain Control Validation …
Once the installation is complete, you will see a green padlock icon next to the domain name and the notification: A Let’s Encrypt certificate secures this domain.
If you want to check the domain status, you can click on the Status tab at the top of the page
If everything is correct and the SSL certificate is successfully installed, you will see the following notice next to the green padlock to the right of the domain (subdomain): AutoSSL Domain Validated
There you can also see the certificate expiration date and a notice that the certificate will automatically renew via AutoSSL.

Next step...
After the SSL certificate is installed, the next step should be to ensure the site always loads with SSL by creating an HTTP to HTTPS redirection.
NOTE: The system will not be able to install the SSL certificate if the domain is not using SkyHosting DNS servers or if domain propagation has not been completed.
SkyHosting DNS servers are as follows:
ns1.skyhosting.rs
ns2.skyhosting.rs
