How To Activate Your SSL Encryption

How to Activate SSL Encryption on Your PhotoBiz Website

SSL encryption secures your PhotoBiz website with HTTPS so visitors see it as “Secure” instead of “Not Secure.” All PhotoBiz 9 websites include SSL at no additional cost.

Older versions of PhotoBiz (such as HTML5 Portfolio or Legacy Builder) do not support SSL. If your site is on an older version, you’ll need to upgrade to PhotoBiz 9 to use this feature.

Before You Start

Make sure you’ve:

Set up your domain name in your PhotoBiz account
Launched and published your PhotoBiz 9 website

SSL certificates can only be generated once your domain is live and your website is published.

STEP ONE

Log Into Your Account

Go to your PhotoBiz login
Click on DOMAINS from the menu on the left side of your dashboard

STEP TWO

Enable SSL

In your domain setup area, look for a checkbox that says:
“I understand this change is not reversible and will take effect immediately.”
Check that box
Click the Enable SSL button to start generating your SSL certificate

That’s it! Once enabled, SSL will protect every page of your site automatically.

Please Note:

It can take 24 to 72 hours for your SSL certificate to fully activate. During this time, your site may still appear as “Not Secure.” This will go away once SSL is active.

Your Website Preview in the control panel may be temporarily disabled while SSL is being set up. You may see a connection failure message, but your website content is saved. Once the SSL certificate is applied to your domain, your live preview will be restored.
