How to install a third-party SSL certificate

Every site gets a free Let’s Encrypt certificate automatically, and that’s all most businesses need. But if you’ve bought a certificate from another company, you can install it instead.

Heads up: installing your own certificate replaces the one that’s already there.

You’ll need two things from the company that sold you the certificate: the certificate (a CRT file) and its private key.

1. Log in to the control panel.
2. Click the website you want to add the certificate to.
3. On the website dashboard, click Security.
4. Click Install Custom SSL.
5. Choose the domain the certificate is for.
6. Paste in, or upload, your Certificate (CRT) and Private Key.
7. Click Upload.
