Installing an SSL Certificate #
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that verifies your website’s identity and enables an encrypted (https) connection. In WPHost, you can issue a free certificate automatically or add your own.
Open the site management panel
In your WPHost personal account, go to the Your Sites section.
Find the site you need in the list and click the site management icon next to its name.
Go to the SSL Certificate section
In the site panel, open the Advanced tab.
In the list of advanced settings, find and expand the SSL Certificate section.
The Advanced tab also holds database, nameserver, zone editor, and PHP settings — be careful when working with these options.
Issue or add a certificate
For a free automatic certificate, click Run AutoSSL.
If you already have your own (paid) certificate, click + Add Certificate and enter its details manually.
The SSL certificate has been successfully connected to your site. The site is now available over the secure https protocol — check this by opening the site in your browser.
