Installing a certificate on cPanel
- In cPanel open SSL/TLS → Manage SSL sites.
- Select the domain, paste the certificate (CRT), the private key (the one created with your CSR) and the CA bundle from the download page.
- Click Install certificate. HTTPS works immediately.
Finally force HTTPS (cPanel → Domains → Force HTTPS Redirect) so every visitor uses the secure version. For sites hosted with HostiGuard the free certificate is installed automatically — only paid certificates need this step.
