Installing a SSL Certificate

After you purchase and receive your issued SSL Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide communication security over the Internet.[1] TLS and SSL encrypt the segments of network connections at the Application Layer for the Transport Layer, using asymmetric cryptography for key exchange, symmetric encryption for confidentiality, and message authentication codes for message integrity. certificate, secure your website with the following steps.

To secure a website with an SSL certificate:

1. Go to the SSL certificates repository via Websites & Domains, click SSL/TLS The Transport Layer Security protocol aims primarily to provide privacy and data integrity between two communicating computer applications.[1]:3 When secured by TLS, connections between a client (e.g., a web browser or email program) and a server (website or email server) are private (or secure), authenticated, and unaltered. Certificates and then click the Advanced Settings button.

2. Upload the SSL certificate: Click Choose file in the middle of the screen and navigate to the location on your computer where you have saved your issued certificate. Select it, and then click Upload Certificate.This will upload and install the certificate against the corresponding private key.

3. Next, to assign the uploaded certificate to your website, return to the Websites & Domains tab, and click Hosting Settings link under the name of the website you wish to secure.

4. To switch on SSL protection, under SSL/TLS support, ensure the Enable box is checked.
5. From the SSL certificate menu, select the SSL certificate you uploaded in step 2 and click Save.

Note: The above method of installing a SSL certificate utilizes a shared IP address An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing via a method known as SNI Server Name Indication (SNI) is a feature that extends the SSL and TLS protocols to indicate what hostname the client is attempting to connect to at the start of the handshaking process. By doing so it allows a server to present multiple certificates on the same IP address and port number and hence allows multiple secure (HTTPS) websites to be served off the same IP address without requiring all those sites to use the same certificate..
