How to Install an SSL Certificate in cPanel

If the certificate was previously installed on storage, you can configure it through the cPaneles interface as follows:

  1. Log on to the cPanel interface and find and click on on SSL/TLS  in the the Security  box.
  2. On the page that appears, select the the Install and Manage SSL for your site (HTTPS).
  3. Once the page has been loaded, locate the the Install an SSL Website  section and select the the Domain  name under Domain label from the drop-down list and click click Autofill by Domain  button.
  4. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the the Install Certificate  button.

The server then installs the certificate to that page, and from then on, the affected domain name can be accessed through HTTP and HTTPS.

By installing the certificate, the current http:// links will not automatically be changed, so you have to provide for redirects to the http:// protocol for https://.
