Installing your Certificate on a WHM/CPanel server
Install an SSL certificate
Once you have received the SSL certificates you can install the certificate using Webhost Manager. You need both the certificate and key files to install the certificate.
Click on the Install an SSL Certificate and Setup the Domain link in the SSL/TLS menu.
"Fetch" or Paste the CRT file for your domain in the windows as shown below:
Enter the domain, user name, and IP address for the certificate in the 'Domain', 'User', and 'IP Address' fields.
"Fetch" or Paste the PRIVATE KEY file for your domain in the windows as shown below:
Note: If you generated the certificate using Webhost Manager, the certificate files should be available.
Open the LiteSSL bundle certificate in a text editor. Paste the text from the LiteSSL bundle certificate into the bottom display area.
Click on the Do it button.
Your certificate is now installed!
