SSL CERTIFICATE PROCESS
Installing your SSL certificate is hassle-free with cPanel or Plesk. Here is how you can get the settings done in less than 5 minutes.
Note: SSL certificate feature is only enabled for Premium Hosting (PR , PRW) customers.
Here is an example of ordering and installing an SSL certificate:
- Prepare by getting your server set up and getting your domain WHOIS record updated.
- Generate the CSR on the server
- Submit the CSR and other info to the Certificate Authority (CA)
- Have your domain and company validated by CA
- Receive and install/upload the issued certificate.
The time required to issue a new SSL certificate by your CA depends on many factors as follow:-
