Free SSL certificate (cPanel brand, signed by one of the largest authorization centers in the world: Comodo), for a domain is created automatically after adding a domain in Additional Domains in cPanel, installation (generating an SSL certificate) usually takes up to a few minutes.
The certificate may not be generated if:
• when adding a domain, its DNS did not point to our hosting (DV certificates are authorized by referring to the domain),
• the rules in the .htaccess file prevent access to the page or redirect to another page or https page,
In the above cases, another attempt to generate will take place automatically the next night.
