    Hello,

    My hosting is iwebfusion.net

    When i access cpanel, i see certificate error warning.

    I asked to iwebfusion support and they told it won't affect my server or traffic and they provide server at cheaper rate so don't waste money on ssl certificate.

    is it ok or it'll affect my site anyway?

    can it affect my site's traffic? as i experience waxing andwanning traffic [up and down-down more] since months since this happed..

    If the error is only there when accessing your cPanel account, then it should not effect your traffic at all. Is this your dedicated server, or are you on a shared account? SSL certs are fairly cheap to ensure your cPanel connections are secure.

    Hello,

    If you need to change cpanel ssl certificate you need to buy a vps or dedicated server . if you only need to change your website ssl , then buy a dedicated IP and ssl certificate .

    Either the certificate has expired or it is a root certificate (self-signed), that is why it is showing you the warning. The certificate is secured just that it is not verified by other authority (eg. GeoTrust). As advise by others, it will not affect your site traffic. In this case, you are accessing port 2083 or 2087 which is a secure port to encrypt your information.

    I would recommend you to renew or purchase the certificates as soon as possible, otherwise, you may face problems later on...
