How do I install a paid / third-party SSL certificate? Print

  • 0

If you bought an SSL certificate from another provider, you can install it yourself in cPanel. Log in and open SSL/TLS, then click Manage SSL sites.

  1. Choose your domain from the dropdown.
  2. Paste the certificate (CRT) into the Certificate box.
  3. Paste the matching private key (KEY) you generated with your CSR.
  4. Paste the CA Bundle (intermediate certificates) provided by your issuer.
  5. Click Install Certificate.

The certificate and key must match, so use the key created alongside your CSR. After installing, force HTTPS and test with a private browser window. If you'd rather we install it for you, open a ticket and attach the certificate, key, and CA bundle.
