SSL Certificates

Every domain gets free SSL certificates automatically via Let's Encrypt.

How it works

1. You add a domain
2. Point your DNS to your VPS IP
3. Teploy's agent requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
4. Certificate is issued within seconds
5. Auto-renewed every 60 days

No configuration needed. No external accounts required.

Certificate status

Check certificate status in App → Settings → Domains.

Statuses:

• Active — Certificate valid and serving traffic
• Pending — Waiting for DNS propagation or certificate issuance
• Error — Check DNS configuration

Troubleshooting

Certificate pending

DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours. Usually resolves in minutes.

Certificate error

1. Verify your A record points to your VPS IP address
2. Ensure port 80 is accessible (required for Let's Encrypt verification)
3. Check that no other service is using port 80/443
4. Contact support if issue persists

Optional: Cloudflare SSL

If you connect Cloudflare for CDN, you can choose their SSL modes instead:

Mode	Description
Full (Strict)	End-to-end encryption with valid origin cert
Full	Encrypts to origin (accepts self-signed)
Flexible	Only encrypts to Cloudflare edge

See Cloudflare Setup for details.
