To install a certificate using EWSHosting.net SSL cPanel plugin, your cPanel account and SSL certificate should be among the list of supported products for this plugin. Otherwise, please refer to Installation Instructions or contact our Support Team for assistance.
Installation of a new certificate
The EWSHosting.net SSL plugin is located in the section 'Exclusive for EWSHosting.net customers' in your cPanel.
Note: before you activate your certificates, make sure your domain name is pointed to your shared hosting server, otherwise certificate will get stuck in the INPROGRESS status and installation will not be completed.
Also, please make sure to synchronize certificate information with your EWSHosting.net account according to this guide.
You will need to click on 'Sign in with NC' to have the certificates from the EWSHosting.net account appear in the cPanel list.
In your plugin’s SSL list, click on Install button next to the certificate you wish to activate.
You will be forwarded to a page asking you to choose which domain name you want to install the certificate for. This must be a domain/subdomain hosted within your current cPanel account.
Note: Starting from cPanel version 11.62, the self-signed certificates are being automatically generated for the newly added domains/subdomains. Thus, during certificate activation, you can also see the question 'Replace your certificate'?. In this case, please click on 'Yes, replace' so that a trusted certificate can be installed instead of the default self-signed one.
The next step is to confirm your administrative email address. You may also enter another one here. The certificate files will get sent to this email address.
In case you need your CSR details to be different from the admin details, uncheck the box at the bottom and fill in the necessary CSR details.
Once all details are provided, click on Install Certificate.
Next, you’ll be forwarded to Installed via plugin tab, where you can see the certificate processing installation. The certificate is removed from My EWSHosting.net SSL tab and will now be visible under Installed via plugin tab.
