Consequences of Not Setting Up Hosted SSL

Discover the potential issues of not setting up hosted SSL after changing your Help Center subdomain and how to prevent them.

What happens if I don't set up hosted SSL after changing my subdomain?

Not setting up hosted SSL can lead to security issues. Without hosted SSL, your customers might face certificate errors or be redirected to the original zendesk.com subdomain.

When you change your Help Center's subdomain from zendesk.com to a custom one, the default SSL certificate no longer applies. To maintain a secure connection and avoid these issues, it's essential to implement hosted SSL.
