You have order and bought your dedicated SSL for your hosting account and now you need to install it on one of your domain. If you have shared hosting account with cpanel as your hosting control panel then you need to contact your webhosting service provider for installing it on your domain, as a shared hosting account holder you do not have access for installing SSL certificate on your domain. If you have a higher hosting plan  such as VPS or dedicated server hosting with WHM control panel.

If you have WHM ( Web Hosting Manager ) as your hosting control panel you can easily manage your hosting accounts and can setup addon, subdomains, ftp accounts, email accounts and can also install SSL certificate using it.

Once you got the SSL certificate with all details you can install it using WebHost Manager. You need to have both the certificate and key files to install the certificate.

Once you receive your certificate please copy it into a text editor including header and footer. You should save the certificate as “yourdomain.txt.”

You need to login to your WHM control panel. Click on the Install an SSL Certificate icon and Setup the Domain link in the SSL/TLS menu. You need to put domain name, user name and IP address in respective fields. You will have to click on “ Fetch Button “ and need to copy paste .key and existing .crt files for the domain where you want to install this SSL certificate. Now you need to replace existing .crt file with “yourdomain.txt” you have created when you had received your certificate. That’s all you need to click “Do it “ and your Dedicated SSL would be installed for your domain.

The padlock icon on your browser will be displayed in the locked position for your domain where you have installed this SSL certificate if your certificates are installed correctly and the server is properly configured for SSL.
