How to Install SSL in WHM/cPanel

    Securing your website with SSL is essential for both trust and SEO. Here’s how you can install an SSL certificate using WHM and cPanel:

    🔒 Step-by-Step via WHM:

    1. Log in to WHM as root.
    2. Navigate to “SSL/TLS” > “Install an SSL Certificate on a Domain”.
    3. Paste your Certificate (CRT), Private Key, and CA Bundle into the appropriate fields.
    4. Click “Install” – that’s it! The SSL will be installed for the selected domain.

    🔐 AutoSSL Option (Recommended):

    1. In WHM, go to “Manage AutoSSL” under the SSL/TLS section.
    2. Choose a provider (e.g., cPanel (powered by Sectigo)).
    3. Click “Enable AutoSSL” for users or accounts you want covered.
    4. WHM will automatically issue and install free SSLs for eligible domains.

    ✅ Done! Your site is now secure over HTTPS.
    Let’s Encrypt or cPanel’s AutoSSL makes it easy and free.
