SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates are essential for encrypting data between your website and its visitors, ensuring a secure connection. Here’s a step-by-step guide to installing an SSL certificate on your domain using cPanel:

1. Log in to cPanel: Go to yourdomain.com/cpanel and enter your credentials.
2. Go to SSL/TLS: In the Security section of cPanel, click on SSL/TLS.
3. Install and Manage SSL for Your Site:
   • Click on Manage SSL Sites under Install and Manage SSL for your site (HTTPS).
   • Select your domain from the Domain dropdown.
4. Install the Certificate:
   • Paste the Certificate (CRT) code into the provided field. If you have your SSL from a third party, use the certificate they provided.
   • If you have the Private Key (KEY) and Certificate Authority Bundle (CABUNDLE), paste those as well.
   • Click Install Certificate.
5. Verify Installation: Visit your site using https://yourdomain.com to ensure the SSL is active. You should see a padlock icon in the browser’s address bar.
