Knowledgebase

You can one-click install SSL certificates for all your domains and subdomains. We offer two types of SSL certificates for free for all your domains and subdomains. Both are domain-validated certificates and are easy to install:

• Sectigo (formerly Comodo).
  
  
• Let's Encrypt.

Note:

• SSL certificates are installed automatically once per day.
  
  
• Your domain must resolve to your hosting IP or use our nameservers to install SSL.
  
  
• Please refer to the separate guide if you use Cloudflare for your domains.
  
  How to install SSL certificates on domains using Cloudflare?

Using AutoSSL

The AutoSSL tool installs Sectigo (formerly Comodo) or Let's Encrypt SSL certificates based on the availability of the SSL provider.

• Go to cPanel > SSL/TLS Status.
  
  
• Click on "Run AutoSSL"
  
  
• Wait for the process to finish.
  
  
• Done! SSL should now have been installed on your domains. No other steps are necessary.

Using Let's Encrypt Plugin

It installs Let's Encrypt SSL certificates. You only need to use one tool to install SSL certificates; you do not need to use both AutoSSL and the Let's Encrypt Plugin.

• Go to cPanel > Let's Encrypt SSL.
  
  
• Click on "Issue".
  
  
• Select the domains and/or subdomains.
  
  
• Click on "Issue".
  
  
• Wait for the process to finish.
  
  

Note:
The Let's Encrypt plugin is not available on new servers (provisioned after January 2024). Its developers have discontinued development.

Third-Party/Paid SSL Certificate

If you want to install third-party or paid SSL certificates, please follow the steps below.

• Go to cPanel > SSL/TLS.
  
  
• Go to CERTIFICATES (CRT) > Generate, view, upload, or delete SSL certificates.
  
  
  • Copy and paste the "Certificate: (CRT)" in the text field below "Upload a New Certificate".
    
    
  • Click "Save Certificate".
    
    
  Or,
  
  
  • Go to cPanel > SSL/TLS > Manage SSL sites.
    
    
  • Select your domain under "Domain".
    
    
  • Copy and paste the "Certificate: (CRT)" and "Private Key (KEY)".
    
    
• Click "Install Certificate".
  
  
• Done!
