I'm moving a wordpress site to a cpanel server. Because I've not yet changed the IP address at the DNS (I test by modifying my windows HOSTS file to point to the new IP), I can't use AutoSSL to generate an SSL cert for the domain at the new server as it detects the domain's IP address isn't pointed there yet.
By default the server creates a self-signed SSL cert for the domain but that (a) generates SSL warnings to the user and (b) even after the DNS is changed, wouldn't AutoSSL not replace the existing self signed cert?
So how they heck do you use AutoSSL without having to delete the existing trial SSL and then wait for AutoSSL to install the new SSL. There would be a period you have no SSL, and on Wordpress that also means, no access to the Admin menu.
Or are we typically talking less than an hour for Auto SSL to install the cert so do it late at night, OR, is there a way to force AutoSSL to replace the pre-existing trial SSL cert that is installed?
