How do I install my Keys-Certificate pair?

IMPORTANT

The below mentioned process can be performed only after you have enabled SSL (Dedicated IP) Support for your website. Click here to read how to do so >>

Once you have the Certificate provided by your CA, you need to submit it for your website from the Control Panel. Follow the process mentioned below to do so:

  1. Login to the Web Hosting Management interface. Click here to read how >>
     
  2. Go to Manage Website -> SSL Manager.
     
  3. Here, click the appropriate button depending upon whether you are hosting your domain name in a Windows or a Linux server:
     
    • Linux Web Hosting - click the Add icon
       
    • Windows Web Hosting - click the Import icon
     
  4. Paste your Certificate in the space provided, and submit it. When you paste your certificate, it is essential that you copy the certificate without any leading, trailing or intermediate spaces. Any spaces in your certificate would cause failure in the installation.
    5.

This will install your Certificate for your website.

IMPORTANT

In order to complete the action in case of Linux Hosting, the Web Server needs to be restarted. Random restarts affect other services running on the Server. In order to avoid this, the Server has been scheduled to restart at intervals of 20 minutes. Hence, certificate installation might take upto 20 minutes for completion.
