How to Install an SSL via cPanel

ℹ️ Attention Resellers: If this is your first time installing an SSL for a client, please follow the steps outlined in this article to enable SSL Host Installer via Feature List: https://www.hostdime.com/resources/create-a-feature-list/

 

  1. Once you have ordered the SSL certificate and the .CRT files have been issued, log into cPanel 

  2. Go to SSL/TLS

  3. Click on "Manage SSL sites"

    ⚠️ If you do NOT see the Manage SSL Sites option, this means you must enable it by creating a Feature List via WHM. To create a feature list, please follow the steps outlined in this article: https://www.hostdime.com/resources/create-a-feature-list/

 

  1. Copy/Paste your certificate file into the Certificate: (CRT) box and then click "Autofill by Certificate". This will cause the Private Key to auto-populate if you used the CSR creator inside of cPanel previously.

    ⚠️ It is important you copy/paste everything from the certificate code "- - - - -BEGIN CERTIFICATE- - - - -" all the way down to "- - - - -END CERTIFICATE- - - - -"

 

  1. Paste the CA Bundle and make sure all of the boxes are filled in before clicking "Install" to complete your installation.


     

  2. You can view your site's SSL by using https:// on your domain.
