SSL certificates require the domain to resolve correctly first. If you updated A records recently, SSL may fail until DNS propagation completes.
1

Confirm DNS is pointing correctly

SSL issuance will fail if the domain is still pointing to a different IP.Verify your @ and www records point to your Veerhost server (or www is a CNAME to @).
2

Issue SSL in cPanel

In cPanel, use SSL/TLS Status (AutoSSL) to request SSL for your domain.Once issued, HTTPS should work.
3

Force HTTPS (after SSL is active)

Once SSL is active, redirect HTTP → HTTPS using one of these:
  • WordPress settings or a plugin
  • cPanel → Redirects
  • .htaccess rules (advanced)

​
Common SSL problems

  • Domain not fully propagated yet
  • Domain not added in cPanel
  • www points somewhere else (SSL only covers the hostname you requested)
  • Cached browser HSTS/SSL errors during propagation
