Our landing pages have been down for over the 4 hours expected in the following: “_SSL ACTIVATION FOR [DEMO.GCD.COM](http://DEMO.GCD.COM) IS PROCESSING. STAY TUNED, IT MAY TAKE 4 HOURS_”

There have seemingly been no changes internally to our DNS, the only CNAME is the Hubspot provided one, with A records from Hubspot. Anything else we should be checking?

Current pages are displaying:

_This site can’t provide a secure connection_  
_[demo.gcd.com](http://demo.gcd.com) uses an unsupported protocol._

_ERR\_SSL\_VERSION\_OR\_CIPHER\_MISMATCH_

Don’t fret. Check DNS propagation, clear browser cache inspect certificate, contact HubSpot support and rule out any conflicting settings. Patience & community resources are your allies.

Hi @jfranklingd when I try [demo.gcd.com](http://demo.gcd.com) it redirects to [gcd.com](http://gcd.com) which is the GoDaddy Corporate Domains URL - is that the domain you’re trying to get connected?

If that’s not your brand domain, you’ll need to update HubSpot to point to your domain/subdomain accordingly.
