Hostname SSL vs Issue SSL

Support and Discussion General Discussion
1

What is the difference between Hostname SSL and Issue SSL (via manage SSL in the panel or via the CLI)?

2

Issue SSL will just issue letsencrypt SSL.
But with hostname SSL, it will issue SSL and also it will bind with the cyberpanel hostname IP.

HostName SSL is for the ssl you access cyberpanel on secure link.
SSL is for issuing SSL to any domain/website

Thanks to both of you. So, it sounds like issue ssl is just a subset of hostname ssl. I’ll just do hostname ssl for my needs.

When would you not want to bind it for cyberpanel access?

Hostname SSL is only required once and for one domain.
Pre-decide on which domain or subdomain you want the panel to be accessed instead of the regular server IP address to access cyberpanel. Then issue hostname on that decided subdomain or domain.
