How Using Cloudflare Affects AutoSSL in cPanel

We have provided information about Cloudflare, AutoSSL, and the advantages of utilizing those services in previous articles. In this article, we will focus on solving one of the specific issues seen when using Cloudflare and AutoSSL together on a cPanel/WHM server. These services function admirably in almost every setting and can be relied upon to deliver the service they advertise. However, in certain situations, services can clash through no fault of their own. 

Setting up Development Environment with Vagrant

In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to install Vagrant on multiple operating systems.

With the shortage of available address space in IPv4, IPs are becoming increasingly difficult to come by, and in some cases, increasingly expensive. However, in most instances, this is not a drawback. Servers are perfectly capable of hosting multiple websites on one IP address, as they have for years.

There was once a time on the Internet where there were many valid reasons to avoid using an SSL all the time. For example, using an SSL sometimes meant your website isn’t indexed as thoroughly. Or maybe certain types of caching were broke.

Lately there’s been a lot of speculation about Googles up-coming changes to how sites without an SSL are going to be treated. As January draws towards a close we have seen an increase in customers with concerns of how this will affect their site. Both in terms of people being able to see it and how it might affect their search ranking.

What is an SSL?

An SSL (or Secure Socket Layer) is the standard method for creating an encrypted link between a web browser and a web server. This secure link ensures that data passed between the browser and the web server are private.

A new flaw has been found in the Secure Sockets Layer version 2.0 (SSLv2) protocol. An attacker could theoretically exploit this vulnerability to bypass RSA encryption, even when connecting via a newer protocol version, if the server also supports the older SSLv2 standard.
