This interface gives you the ability to generate, view, or upload, private keys, Certificate Signing Requests (CSR), and certificates (CTR), and also allows the ability to activate an SSL certificate on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only certain businesses require a Dedicated SSL certificate. Exact needs will vary from business to business. If you process customer payment information directly on your site, as opposed to a payment gateway like PayPal, then you will need a Dedicated SSL certificate. For many sites, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/ssl\/auto-ssl-guide\/\">free AutoSSL that is auto-enabled forever<\/a> is more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a Dedicated SSL certificate, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/amp\/how-do-i-obtain-an-ssl-certificate\/#how-to-order\">order an SSL certificate from InMotion Hosting<\/a> in your Account Management Panel (AMP). Our Dedicated SSL certificates are Comodo-issued 256-bit encrypted InstantSSL certificates and are only <strong>$99.99 \/ year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">If you require assistance, please submit a request to our live technical support team.

InMotion Hosting <a href=\"\/support\/website\/ssl\/installing-ssls-in-cpanel\/\">can install<\/a> SSLs from a variety of third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">You can also purchase SSLs through InMotion Hosting, and we will make sure your SSL is renewed yearly and configured properly for our server types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">If you are purchasing your dedicated SSL from a third-party vendor, make sure to use Redhat\/Linux and SHA 2 for the encryption settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"paid-install\">Have Us Install Your SSL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your CSR request is submitted, our Support Team will respond via email with your CSR. The email should be the one referenced by the SSL and not necessarily with the primary email address on the hosting account. You will then provide the CSR to your SSL vendor so they can properly key your SSL. When you receive the SSL from your vendor, please respond to our email and attach your SSL. Our Support Team will then install your third party SSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">We do require a charge of $25 for our support team to carry out an SSL installation for SSLs purchased elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wildcard\">Wildcard SSL Installations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can have Wildcard SSL certificates installed on VPS or Dedicated servers. We do not sell Wildcard SSL certificates, so you will need to contact a 3rd party SSL provider to obtain one. Also, Wildcard SSL certificates cannot be installed on shared hosting plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\"><strong>Important!<\/strong> In order to install Wildcard certificates on VPS and Dedicated servers, each site needs to be on a separate cPanel account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To have a Wildcard SSL installed, you will need a CSR generated for each domain on your server that will use the Wildcard SSL. You then take the CSR and key the Wildcard certificate for each domain. You then email the CRT to support for installation. We install the same certificate to each cPanel account you created for each domain that will use the SSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install-ssl\">How to Install the SSL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li> Log in WHM.<div style=\"clear: both;\"><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>SSL\/TLS<\/strong>.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_201.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_201.png\" alt=\"SSL\/TLS link\"><\/a> <div style=\"clear: both;\"><div style=\"clear: both;\"><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Install an SSL Certificate on a Domain<\/strong>.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_206.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_206.png\" alt=\"Install SSL Certificate link\"><\/a> <div style=\"clear: both;\"><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill in the Domain you are securing.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_207.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_207.png\" alt=\"Enter domain\"><\/a> <div style=\"clear: both;\"><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are installing a self-signed SSL paste the Certificate you received before in the <em>Certificate<\/em> field, autofill, and click Install.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_208.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_208.png\" alt=\"Autofill by domain button\"><\/a> <div style=\"clear: both;\"><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are installing a third-party CA SSL you can use the Certificate Authority Bundle you were provided when you purchased the SSL, autofill, and click <strong>Install<\/strong>.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_210.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/dedicated-hosting\/ssl-install\/Selection_210.png\" alt=\"Blue Install button\"><\/a>  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"activate-ssl\">Activate SSL Certificate on Website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve generated a private key, generated a CSR, and installed a SSL on your account, you should be ready to activate that SSL certificate for your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>Access the <strong>cPanel SSL\/TLS Manager<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Install and Manage SSL for your site(HTTPS)<\/strong>.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/select-install-ssl.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/select-install-ssl.png\" alt=\"click setup an ssl certificate to work with your site\"><\/a>  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From the <strong>Domain<\/strong> drop-down, select the domain you\u2019re installing your SSL certificate on, and then click <strong>Autofill by Domain<\/strong>.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/install-ssl-autofill-by-domain.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/install-ssl-autofill-by-domain.png\" alt=\"select ssl domain click autofill by domain\"><\/a> <div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In this case you can see it\u2019s warning us that the <strong>Issuer<\/strong> is <strong>self-signed<\/strong> which is fine.

It\u2019s almost always a better idea to just use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/ssl\/auto-ssl-guide\/\">free AutoSSL<\/a>, but certain prototypes or unusual circumstances may require you to generate a self-signed SSL yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you access a self-signed SSL website from your web-browser, you will get an <a href=\"\/support\/website\/ssl\/self-signed-ssl-certificate-warning\/\">self signed SSL warning<\/a> such as this one in Google Chrome. You can simply safely click on <strong>Proceed anyway<\/strong> to still get to the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re on your website if you click on the SSL padlock icon, you can see the reason we got a warning is because the website\u2019s identity has not been verified. This is because we used a self-signed SSL certificate and it wasn\u2019t verified by a third-party certificate authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"413\" height=\"431\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/self-signed-ssl-info.png\" alt=\"Self Signed SSL Info Example\" class=\"wp-image-72129\" style=\"width:550px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/self-signed-ssl-info.png 413w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/self-signed-ssl-info-287x300.png 287w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\"><li>Access the <strong>cPanel SSL\/TLS Manager<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Click on <strong>Generate, view, upload, or delete SSL certificates<\/strong>.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/generate-crt.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/generate-crt.png\" alt=\"click generate certificate\"><\/a>  <div style=\"clear: both;\"><li>Scroll down to the <strong>Generate a New Certificate<\/strong> section and fill out all of the details for your self-signed SSL certificate, click <strong>Generate<\/strong>.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/generate-new-cert-info.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/generate-new-cert-info.png\" alt=\"fill out details for self signed ssl certificate click generate\"><\/a>  <\/li><li>On the next page, click in the <strong>Encoded Certificate<\/strong> text-box, then hit <strong>Ctrl-A<\/strong> to select all the text, and then <strong>Ctrl-C<\/strong> to copy it.<br><a rel=\"lightbox-0\" href=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/copy-generated-certificate.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"std_ss\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"\/support\/images\/stories\/cpanel\/ssl-tls-manager\/copy-generated-certificate.png\" alt=\"copy self signed certificate text\"><\/a>  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<p>For unusual situations, <a aria-label=\"cPanel's official documentation (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/whm\/ssl-tls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cPanel\u2019s official documentation<\/a> has a wide variety of situations covered in-depth.
