Verify with online ssl checker otherwise you may need to review the ssl installation process

it is auto-installed, as i used the same server before when i went and clicked on 'Run Auto SSL' , and the SSL showed on the domain name on the search bar, but this time it didn't, i will contact the support and see!

I know from my experience with bluehost it can take a day to kick into action.

I didn't install WordPress with softaculous yet, as i want to set up the SSL Certificate on my domain first

You can use Cloudflare and use their free SSL service. I think it's better than free SSL from the hosting provider.

Have you made changes to enforce https?

If not copy paste this in your htaccess file

Code:

#httacess ssl force
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

You should never miss with the htaccess file, all you need to do if you want to enforce https; just go to cPanel dashboard, scroll down to 'domains' then click on force to https, and that's it

Same thing

Using htaccess is never that hard, and it can help for many purposes
