Does it make sense to also have SSL for staging website?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025SSL shouldn’t be necessary for staging sites unless you’re planning to have people visit it other than yourself.
I have purchased the Business plan. Could you send me a tutorial or basic video on how to create several hosting from scratch? do you have this? And secondly can you please tell me how to perform these processes with domains purchased in goddady and will continue to be operated with that company: FREE SSL Certificate FREE Daily Backups FREE One Click Migrations FREE Google CDN And can you please tell me what these services consist of: Unlimited On-Demand Snapshots Cache Optimisation Web Acceleration Suite Autoscaling Cloud Hosting 1 Tbps+ DDoS Protection Ecommerce Optimised Edge Caching for Speed WP-CLI and SSH No LVE Limits PCI Compliant Hosting Finally, as I said, I would like the websites to be in UK. Is this already by default? I have to do it myself at some point. I would also like to use nginx. Is this already by default? And each hosting can have an ip that is also in Europe. I imagine that you have a list of ips. Can you use ips that are in Europe? how does this work exactly? what can I do and what can’t I do? I know it’s a lot. it’s not urgent. when you have time this week. thank you very much.

Origin certificate is possible to generate and export, while proxy certificates are not. https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/origin-configuration/origin-ca/ You should really look into issuing certs via Let’s Encrypt and use the http acme challenge as verification method… Too much hassle as it is right now
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Sorry for the inconvenience, but another client exports their SSL from Cloudflare so I supposed you can do that.
Well that’s extremely disappointing, why on earth would you disable such a basic feature? At least allow generation of self issued certificates to pass the traffic to Cloudflare via SSL?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025You can use your Cloudflare SSL on our server as an external SSL and you can install it from the Greeny Host panel “SSL/TLS”
How do I add custom DNS before I use your nameservers?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025As standard, any new package that is created or migrated into us gets given our default DNS. This will ensure the site and all its services such as email will function. If you want migrate a package into us that has custom DNS then you’ll need to add these records before pointing the nameservers to...
How can I use DNS to verify my domain with Google Search Console (Webmaster Tools)?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025When setting up Google Search Console you will be asked to verify your domain. A recommended method which will work as long as you are using our StackDNS nameservers is to add the Google verification code as a TXT record for your domain. To do this, go to the “Manage DNS” section of your control...
What is a nameserver?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025A nameserver manages a directory of domains that match specific IP addresses, like a phonebook: with names and numbers. It is where the DNS server records for your domain (e.g. ‘example.com’) are stored. Whenever you type a domain name into a web browser, nameservers provide the IP address, which is a string of numbers. If...
What is domain propagation?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025DNS propagation defines the process of updating information across the internet. There are two forms of DNS propagation: the first is the changes made to the DNS zone and the second is the changes made to WHOIS information. An change made to your DNS zone will only usually affect a few servers and is the...
We don’t want to use your NS and will be using Cloudflare for DNS. Problem is, that your system doesn’t seem to support this configuration as it relies on dns acme challenge as it seems?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Yes I’m afraid that It’s not possible to activate our free SSL without using our nameservers, Otherwise you can buy an SSL certificate and activate it.
How can I tell if DNS has propagated for me?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025If you’re unsure whether DNS has fully propagated for you, you should check the IP address your requests are resolving-to. The easiest way to do this is to ‘ping’ the domain name from your local computers. On Windows, you should open a Command Prompt and on macOS a Terminal, and then type: ping domain.com Replacing...
My website shows as insecure due to mixed content?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Please note that if you have recently activated a Greeny Host Host SSL certifcate for your domain, it can take up to 30 minutes to be installed across our load balancers. After an SSL has been installed, the website still loads with an insecure warning If the website is now showing your certificate but still...
Why should you use Force HTTPS on your website?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Using HTTPS instead of HTTP means that communications between your browser and a website is encrypted via the use of an SSL (Secure Socket Layer). Even if your website doesn’t handle sensitive data, it’s a good idea to make sure your website loads securely over HTTPS. It’s now becoming a requirement for many new browser...
How do I activate my free SSL?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Every Greeny Host Host hosting package comes with a free wildcard SSL certificate, enabling you to use the more secure ‘HTTPS’ protocol to keep your site users secure. To activate the SSL, you’ll need to make sure you’ve pointed the domain name to our nameservers. With that done, you need to: Within Manage Services, select...
How can I generate a Certificate Signing Request?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025When ordering an SSL certificate, you’re often required to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is an encoded block of text that the Certificate Authority require when issuing an SSL certificate. It contains information about the organization, domain name and locality. Using a CSR Generator The easiest way to generate a CSR is to...
Can I install a third-party certificate?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Yes: if you have an existing external or third-party SSL certificate you can install this at Greeny Host Host. Your certificate provider will need to provide the following sections for us to be able to install the SSL certificate: Certificate Private Key CA Bundle / Intermediate Certificate These details will need to be entered within...
Why do I get an ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED-NAME-ALERT error?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025If you’re trying to access the temporary URL (i.e. example-co-uk.staging.com) you may get an ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED-NAME-ALERT error. This will be because the temporary URL can’t load over SSL (via https://). To allow the temporary URL to resolve you’ll need to ensure it loads over http://. Check the WordPress site and home URL and make sure it’s...
Can I point an A record to a package and get the free SSL certificate?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025No. To be able to apply the free SSL certificate, your site(s) need to use the Greeny Host Host nameservers. This is because the SSL certificates are installed locally to the Greeny Host Host platform.

If a certificate is invalid, greenyhost.com would not allowed the SSL to install. It gave error when I tried to installed the client certificate. When I installed the origin certificates, greenyhost.com accepted it. But it is not working. The same method is being used on another hosting company just fine. So I am not sure what is the issue with greenyhost.com not accepting the CloudFlare SSL.
Last Updated: June 9, 2025I did take a look at that but you would still need an Intermediate Certificate or CA bundle. I have seen in the past Cloudflare certificates that have these added and it does then work. You can check the error here as I said to you – https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=impire.com
On your Greeny Host Panel
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Did you point DNS on your domain registrar panel to our servers which are: ns1.stackdns.com ns2.stackdns.com ns3.stackdns.com ns4.stackdns.com

Last Updated: June 9, 2025Is this happen in your domain registrar DNS management or on our Greeny Host Panel.
However I am getting an error (HSTS) and unable to access the site. I have a WP Encrypt pro key for my site, How can I enter the Wp-admin page
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Please set this domain “glenmarkaquatic.foundation” to be using our Nameservers: ns1.stackdns.com ns2.stackdns.com ns3.stackdns.com ns4.stackdns.com
I’m having an issue with two sites I have on Greeny Host Host: mototaller.info and mryt.info. Apparently, on the Greeny Host Host dashboard, it does not detect that the DNS are pointing to Greeny Host Host although they are as you can see in “mototaller-info-dns00.png” screenshot. The same goes for mryt-info. Do you know what can be going on? Maybe a temporary issue?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Thanks for your patience, It looks like with your current registrar DNSSEC is enabled, if you could disable this on your registrar end and wait 2-3 hours this should fix the issue you are experiencing.
CUALES SON LOS DNS, I would like to know what the DNS name is to be able to point the domain to the hosting. NS1.??? NS2?? So I wanted to know the lifetime promotion for how many days it will be since I’m encouraged to buy it.

. I followed the below guides. I also looked at many youtube videos. They said I don’t need the CA Bundle. I also don’t see that CA bundle option on CloudFlare: https://www.hostens.com/knowledgebase/installing-cloudflare-ssl-on-cpanel/ https://scriptstown.com/how-to-install-and-activate-cloudflare-ssl-on-godaddy-cpanel-hosting/ I still cannot get the site to work. Could you please help?
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Testing the SSL, the issue appears to be that the certificate does not have a common name that covers the domain impire.com: The common name does not match impire.com Is it possible to get an SSL from Cloudflare that includes the common name for the domain you’re wishing to have it installed on?
How do I obtain the CA Bundle / Immediate Certificate? Is that also through CloudFlare.
Last Updated: June 9, 2025Yes, through Cloudflare. Your certificate provider will need to provide the following sections for us to be able to install the SSL certificate: Certificate Private Key CA Bundle / Intermediate Certificate
I know it said invalid. But it came directly from CloudFlare. I copied and pasted it. I can try again.
Last Updated: June 9, 2025I see two parts of the certificate you provided. It should be three parts. In your case, you need CA Bundle / Intermediate Certificate
