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.
