How do I manually install an SSL certificate on my cPanel hosting package?

Once you’ve accessed your dashboard, select cPanel Admin.

Select SSL/TLS under the Security heading.

Select Generate, view, upload, or delete SSL certificates under the Certificates (CRT) heading.

Choose the SSL certificate you wish to activate and select Use Certificate. The fields for the certificate will be automatically populated.

The fields for the certificate will be automatically populated. Select the option Install Certificate at the bottom of the page.

Once you’ve done this, a pop-up will appear informing you that the process was successful. Simply click OK to continue.
