Hello,

I originally created my site a few months ago with cPanel and it had an SSL certificate automatically assigned to it. I took it for granted that this certificate would auto renew, but it didn't and the site broke.

So, I eventually found that if I typed SSL in the new DirectAdmin stuff that I could get to a page to set an auto renewing Let's Encrypt certificate, which I did. It worked! Then I set a checkbox in Domain Settings to force redirection to https. Everything was working.

Today, there's a certificate with the wrong CN and my site is broken. The SSL settings page is gone and the setting to force redirection to https is no longer available. So, I can't even uncheck the redirect setting to get the site to work with straight http.

Are certificates really not available for the free accounts?

If a certificate isn't available then can I get some help reenabling http?

The site is: divmino.x10host.com

Thanks.

Your page now loads fine for me, if you still get issues you may need to clear browser cache (or wait for it to expire)
SSL should never have been available on the old server either, but we have learnt that one server had it on by mistake for a while.

Thank you! Love the chipmunk picture by the way.
