How to install SSL certificates

SSL certificate installation is typically performed by the hosting company that provides services for the domain. However, you may also choose install an SSL certificate yourself. Select your server type from the list below to find detailed instructions for installation.

The SSL on your domain name was activated, please find and add the DNS records to complete the verification before you can download the SSL files through your control panel:

My Account > My Products > SSL Certificates > Detail > ....

After you complete the DNS record's verification, you can download the SSL files by the same approach.

Installing SSL Certificate Notes

If you host your domain name with NiceNIC, simply provide us with your certificate and we'll be happy to install it for you.

Please note that on all NiceNIC, Shared Hosting servers, a special NiceNIC, SSL plugin installs a 1-year free PositiveSSL certificate automatically on the newly added subdomain or add-on. It works the same way for the main domain in the newly purchased hosting account. The plugin can also be used for manual installation (in a few clicks) of PositiveSSL and EssentialSSL certificates. 

A dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL certificate. However, you may install your SSL certificate on a shared IP address using the Server Name Indication (SNI) protocol extension available in your cPanel. You can learn more about the differences between a dedicated IP and SNI technology in this article.
