Cpanel/WHM Reseller SSL connections.
I would like to ask, since most reseller accounts do force ssl, when I go to e.g. http://domain.com:2082 it takes me to https://domain.com:2083.
When the main server certificates gives me errors and I have to add exceptions each time I had to log on, what about the clients? is it common? most browsers always write a warning about credit card theft, etc. and that doesn't give a good impression about your service. am i wrong to not want SSL for my account or for the provider to fix their SSL certificate?

clients will see the same error and you can't have valid ssl for IP anyway.
Question: can it be turned of for my whole account so it just utilizes http://? just curious
there's a setting in WHM > Server Configuration > Tweak Settings, just disable ssl for cPanel, WHM, webmail........ but not advisable
It sounds like the provider in question is just using a self signed certificate (standard with cPanel) - Regardless that's going to be more secure than HTTP.
There are two Options to prevent this:
Disable SSL on Service SSL.
Set a WhiteLabel HostName to the Server & issue SSL for that and Set SSL Required. Let your Reseller & Customers know the WhiteLabel HostName & advise them to use that HostName. By doing this, none will know which Company is maintaining the Server + You're secured !
I've always had this with previous providers, which works out perfectly.
I've got this with most of the Providers I used / I advised them to do it & they gladly did it. So, if any provider is refusing to do this, Either he is incompetent / doesn't know how to do this or he doesn't pay a heed to his clients. I would have moved in this situation.
