SSL/TLS

Step 1; Log in to your cPanel>>Security>>SSL/TLS

Step 2: Uploading the private key
Every SSL certificate requires a private key. These can be uploaded to cPanel by clicking “Generate, view, upload, or delete your private keys.”. Once that page loads, scroll down and paste your private key.

If you have a .key file for your private key, use the upload form instead.

Step 4: Adding an SSL site
Now that we have the private key and the certificate on our cPanel server, we can use these to install the SSL certificate on a site. Click “Manage SSL sites.”, click “Browse Certificates” and choose a certificate. This will automatically enter all of the required information.

Click “Install Certificate” to install the certificate on the SSL site. You have now installed an SSL certificate using SNI.
