SSL certificates
Encrypt your data with an SSL certificate

An SSL certificate is a security protocol that encrypts all data between a web server and web browser. That means nobody can steal your clients’ data while it is in transit from one location to another. If they somehow manage to do so, it won’t make sense at all.

If you want to keep your user’s data secure and show that your website can be trusted, you absolutely need an SSL. It also helps verify your website and prevents attackers from cloning it. The point of an SSL is to ensure private data remains private. These include card information, login details, personal information, and legal documents.

Simply scroll up to one of our offerings, choose the best SSL certificate for you and click ORDER. We’ll get your details with a couple of prompts and get to issuing it from there.

Ask if it wants another cup of tea. Jokes aside, your SSL should usually be set to automatically renew. If it isn’t simply:

1. Log in to your WHMCS and head to Website and Security.
2. From there, click Manage SSL certificates.
3. Once you enter that webpage, you’ll see a list of the SSL certificates you currently own, along with their renewal date. Click to have it renewed automatically.

How long you wait depends on the type of certificate you get. Different certification types require different levels of validation. For example, for domain validation, which is the lowest level of validation, often only takes a few minutes to obtain.

On the other hand, organisation validation requires you to verify that you own an organisation in some country, state, or city. These certificates can take a few days to be issued.

1. Once you have your SSL certificate, download and extract the SSL certificate details then head to your cPanel.
2. Navigate to the Security section and select SSL/TLS.
3. From there, click on Manage SSL sites and copy the certificate code into the Certificate (CRT) block.
4. Click Autofill by certificate if it hasn’t generated the content spontaneously.
5. Click Install Certificate, and Bob’s your uncle.

1. Start by downloading your Intermediate Certificate. You'll reveive your Primary Certificate via email.
2. Once you have it, log into cPanel and open the SSL Manager menu SSL/TLS.
3. Click on the Generate, view, upload, or delete SSL certificates link.
4. Click to upload the certificate you acquired, or if it came as text, paste it in the field that’s available.
5. Click Install SSL certificate to complete the process.

Single domain, Wildcard, and Multi-domain certificates. Each one offers more protection than the former.

• Single domain SSL certificates cover an individual domain, subdomain, hostname, IP address, or mail server.
• Wildcard SSL certificates protect a single domain name and all its subdomains.
• Multi-domain SSL certificates protect several different domains and all their subdomains, sometimes up to 250.

That depends on the number of websites and subdomains you’re dealing with right now. If you have a single website with one domain a single domain certificate will do the trick. If you have plenty of subdomains under a single flagship domain, a wildcard SSL certificate is the way to go. Finally, if you’re handling plenty of different domains, a multi-domain SSL certificate would cover all those.

1. Log into your system’s terminal

2. Once there, enter the following command:

   1. openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr
   2. Just be sure to replace “server” with the domain name you want to secure.
3. Enter your CSR details as you’re prompted.

Open the freshly minted CSR order in a text editor. It’ll be ready for when you need to pull it up. Just be sure to secure it by saving or creating a backup of it.
