SSL/TLS Wizard Interface in cPanel

The SSL/TLS Wizard interface in cPanel provides a simplified and streamlined way to purchase, install, and manage SSL certificates for your domains. It ensures your website is secured with HTTPS, which is critical for protecting sensitive information and building visitor trust.

🔍 What is SSL/TLS?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols that encrypt data exchanged between a user's browser and your server. This prevents hackers from intercepting or tampering with the data.

When SSL/TLS is active, your site uses HTTPS and displays a padlock icon in the browser address bar—an essential trust signal for modern websites.

🛠️ How to Use the SSL/TLS Wizard in cPanel

  1. Log in to your cPanel account.
  2. Navigate to the Security section.
  3. Click on SSL/TLS Wizard.
  4. Select the domain you want to secure.
  5. The interface allows you to:
  6. Purchase a new SSL certificate from a supported provider.
  7. View and manage pending certificates (not yet delivered by the provider).
  8. Automatically install the certificate once it's available.

📦 Types of SSL Certificates

Depending on your needs and provider, you may choose:

  • Domain Validation (DV): Basic encryption and domain ownership verification.
  • Organization Validation (OV): Confirms business identity and domain.
  • Extended Validation (EV): Highest level of verification, trust, and brand protection.

You can also use AutoSSL if your hosting provider (like Govaio.com) supports free certificates via Let's Encrypt or cPanel.

✅ Key Benefits

  • Secure encryption for login, checkout, forms, etc.
  • SEO boost (Google prioritizes HTTPS sites)
  • Builds trust with customers and site visitors
  • Simple purchase and installation process
  • Integration with domain management tools

🔧 Troubleshooting

  • If a certificate is listed but not delivered, follow up with your certificate provider.
  • Make sure your domain is properly pointed to your hosting server.
  • Use cPanel > SSL/TLS Status to check if your certificate is active.
