To install SSL certificates from Cpanel, you need:

  • SSL Certificate.  (If you dont have a good SSL certificate, see the list of 5 best SSL certificate providers)
  • You will also need a dedicated (unique) IP address. If you dont have one, contact your hosting company and they will be happy to set your site a dedicated IP address

That said, if you have these two, then proceed to the following instructions:

1: Login to cPanel and click on the SSL Manager.


2: Click on Set up a SSL certificate work with your site


3: Select the required Domain and the IP address may fill in automatically.


4: In the first box paste the contents of your Primary Certificate that you downloaded from your certificate authority. Include the BEGIN and END tags.

5: In the middle box paste the correct private key. The private key may fill in automatically if the server recognizes your Certificate or when you click fetch.


6: In the bottom box paste the contents of the Ca Bundle, if your certificate authority provided one.


7: Click on Install Certificate.

There you go. That’s it.
