AutoSSL is a WHM and cPanel feature that automatically issues SSL certificates for its registered domains. This indicates that the communication between the servers will navigate to website securely.
Most modern websites has lack of encryptions, most modern browsers sends warnings for lack of HTTPS and SSL encryption. cPanel and WHM have variety of AutoSSL notifications which you can enable or disable from WHM.

Step 3 – Click on ‘options’. Notice that there are different notifications available.
Step 4 – You can select all or each checkbox message specifically. If you disable any option of this interface you will also disable the corresponding notification to WHM’s ‘Contact Manager’ Interface and cPanel’s ‘Contact Information’.
Step 5 – Let’s take a look at the corresponding options in WHM’s ‘Contact Manager’. Open a new tab and login to WHM. Search for ‘Contact Manager’ Interface. The ‘Contact Manager’ interface will appear. Then click the notifications tab.
