In version 58 we added <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/autossl\">AutoSSL<\/a>\u00a0to install those same free SSLs on all hosted domains automatically. With version 60 we both enabled AutoSSL by default on new servers\u00a0and gave server administrators the option to enable it after the upgrade. \u00a0The Market Provider and AutoSSL have each been a hugely popular. Let&#8217;s take a look at the numbers.<\/p>\n<h1>SSL By the Numbers<\/h1>\n<p>We issued our very first Comodo-backed SSL in February, and then only 181 in March. In April the Market Provider and Free Hostname SSL certificates were starting to hit live servers, and we started to see the uptick. The real jumps, though, started once AutoSSL was released in version 58, which included Comodo&#8217;s free 90 day SSLs as well. In version 60 we added AutoSSL to the Feature Showcase and have seen an incredible response. In the last 16 days\u00a0we have issued over 3.5 Million SSL certificates.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/2016-11-17_1045-600x311.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/2016-11-17_1045-600x311.png\" alt=\"Number of SSLs issued by cPanel and WHM.\" width=\"648\" height=\"336\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Comodo team has been working hard to keep up with demand, and since\u00a0<span class=\"inline-comment-marker\" data-ref=\"1eb4da8e-e734-4374-baf0-ebbbaa174e8d\">March 1st<\/span> we have issued over 5.2 m<span class=\"inline-comment-marker\" data-ref=\"e8ea17a3-420e-4d10-9b72-fe6d75b6d43d\">illion<\/span> SSL certificates. Thanks to them, that number is climbing every second. We are issuing new SSL certificates at a rate of approximately 240,000 per day. That&#8217;s 10,000 new certificates per <span class=\"inline-comment-marker\" data-ref=\"a1cbd0eb-97bf-4ccd-be49-cdbc2921e438\">hour, or 166<\/span> certificates a minute. We could not have anticipated the demand that we&#8217;ve seen, and are incredibly grateful to the Comodo team for their commitment to our shared goal: securing traffic across the internet.<\/p>\n<h1>Up Next: Remove Non-SSL Support for cPanel Services<\/h1>\n<p>The success of AutoSSL has been exciting, but we&#8217;re just getting started. Version 60 introduced wildcard SSL support to the Market Provider, and we are still planning to add OV and EV support as well. As more domains are secured by AutoSSL, it becomes clear what the next step in our journey should be: drop support for cPanel &amp; WHM&#8217;s services on insecure ports. To be clear, our plan for this only involves removing insecure connections for cPanel services; we won&#8217;t touch the LAMP stack. One of the many decisions to be made along the way is whether or not to include\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/features.cpanel.net\/topic\/allow-to-make-certificate-for-subdomains-like-cpanel-example-com-and-mail-example-using-lets-encrypt\"><span class=\"inline-comment-marker\" data-ref=\"7b96fe5f-f547-489d-bb29-b203d6b74f55\">proxy-subdomain<\/span><\/a> support.
