Hosting With Free SSL — Paid With Crypto, Secured From Day One
Every Afiahost plan includes free SSL certificates, automatically issued and renewed. Pay with crypto and your site is secured with HTTPS from the start.
SSL is included, not an upsell
Many budget hosts advertise a low price and then charge extra for SSL certificates. Afiahost includes free SSL on every plan — no upsell, no add-on, no "upgrade to get security" paywall. Certificates are issued automatically once your domain resolves to our nameservers, and they are renewed before expiry so your site never shows a security warning.
SSL is not optional in 2026. Browsers flag HTTP sites as "not secure," Google ranks HTTPS sites higher, and many web features (service workers, geolocation, payment APIs) require HTTPS to function. Free SSL means your site is secure from the moment it goes live.
How SSL issuance works
When you point your domain at the Afiahost nameservers and the DNS propagates, the system detects the domain and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate automatically. The certificate is installed on your hosting account, and HTTPS is enabled for your domain — typically within minutes of DNS resolution.
Renewal is also automatic. Let's Encrypt certificates expire every 90 days, but the system renews them well before expiry without any action from you. If you add a subdomain or park an additional domain, certificates are issued for those too.
Pay for hosting, get SSL for free
Your hosting invoice — Host 1 Website at $14.99/yr, Host 2 Websites at $29.99/yr and Host Unlimited Websites at $59.99/yr — includes everything: the SSL certificate, the CDN, the email accounts, the daily backups and the cPanel license. There is no line item for SSL and no tier that locks it behind a higher price. You pay one annual price in crypto and get the full feature set.
The Cloudflare CDN adds another layer of security: DDoS protection, bot mitigation and edge caching. Combined with SSL, this means your site is encrypted in transit, protected against volumetric attacks, and cached for fast delivery worldwide — all included in the plan price you pay with crypto.
