Installing an SSL certificate in the Hosting Panel
Learn how to install an SSL certificate and private key from one convenient interface in the Webcentral Hosting Panel.
Some newer hosting accounts use an administration interface directly within the Webcentral Hosting Panel. Unlike cPanel, there is no separate login — you just log in to your Webcentral account at https://theconsole.webcentral.au and control your web site, email, and WordPress from one unified interface.
This article demonstrates how to use this administration interface to install an SSL certificate and private key. It applies to the following account types:
- Mini Web Hosting
- Starter Web Hosting
- Plus Web Hosting
- Pro Web Hosting
- Max Web Hosting
- Hosting for WordPress
NoteIn many cases, you do not need to install an SSL certificate manually. For example, if you are using the free SSL certificate, it is installed automatically. Use the following procedure if you need to install an SSL certificate that you purchased from Webcentral or another provider.
