How long does it take for an SSL certificate to take effect HostGator?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:21 pm

SSL certificates take effect on the servers they are installed on after they have been verified and signed by a Certificate Authority. HostGator takes an average of 72 hours to process and approve a SSL certificate request.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to install an SSL certificate on your HostGator account, be aware that it can take up to 24-48 hours for the SSL certificate to become active. This is due to the fact that HostGator has to generate a unique IP address for your account and then propagate the SSL certificate to that IP address.

After the certificate is approved, it will be installed on the server and effect will be visible to the end user.
