Adding SSL to your domain is simple through the PBN LTD dashboard — but it’s important to follow the correct steps to ensure proper security, compatibility, and avoid common errors or footprints.

✅ Enabling SSL During Domain Setup

When adding a new domain to your dashboard:

• You’ll see a checkbox to enable HTTPS (SSL) for supported CDN providers.

• Make sure to tick this box if your site needs SSL.

🔄 Forgot to Enable SSL? Here’s What to Do:

If you didn’t enable HTTPS during setup, don’t worry — for most CDN providers, you can enable it afterward.

Supported CDN Providers (Cloudflare, BunnyCDN):

1. Click the site name in your PBN LTD dashboard.

2. On the left-hand menu under Site Functions, click Edit Site.

3. Tick the HTTPS box to enable SSL.

4. The status will briefly change (e.g., to Activating CDN), and then return to OK when SSL is active.

5. Clear your browser cache fully to view the secure version of your site.

⚠️ Provider Limitations

❌ KeyCDN

• KeyCDN does not allow HTTPS to be enabled after setup.

• If you forgot to enable it initially, you will need to:

  • Delete the domain

  • Re-add it, this time ticking the HTTPS box during setup

⚠️ CDN77

• SSL is not supported with CDN77 at this time.

• If you require HTTPS, please choose a different CDN provider during setup.

🚫 Avoid Using SSL Plugins or Workarounds

Do not use WordPress SSL plugins or force HTTPS via .htaccess or other tools.

Our system automatically handles SSL deployment securely through the CDN layer. Using external tools can cause:

• Misconfigurations

• Redirect loops

• Unwanted hosting footprints

🔍 Why Our SSL Process Matters

We issue SSL certificates at the CDN layer, unique to each domain. This setup:

• Avoids common SSL-related patterns across domains

• Maintains privacy and stealth for your PBN network

• Ensures maximum compatibility with CDN and browser systems

⏱️ When Does SSL Go Live?

SSL is not issued instantly. Here’s what to expect:

1. Add the domain and point nameservers correctly.

2. The status will go from:

   • Waiting DNS update → Activating CDN → OK

3. Once the domain is in the OK state, SSL will activate.

If you try visiting the domain before it reaches “OK”, you may see no SSL or errors — this is normal. Wait for full DNS propagation and clear your browser cache after the site is active.
