The SSL/TLS interface in cPanel allows you to manage the security certificates that keep your website’s data safe through encryption. With SSL/TLS, your site can use HTTPS, which builds trust with visitors and boosts SEO rankings.
🧩 What is SSL/TLS?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols that:
- Encrypt data transmitted between your website and its visitors
- Protect against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks
- Verify your website’s authenticity
The SSL/TLS interface in cPanel provides all the tools you need to manage:
- Private keys
- Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs)
- SSL certificates
- Self-signed or CA-issued certificates
✅ How to Access:
- Log in to your cPanel account.
- Scroll to the Security section.
- Click on SSL/TLS.
🔧 Common Actions You Can Perform:
- Generate private keys for encryption
- Create Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) for external SSL providers
- Install SSL certificates (issued by Govaio or a third party)
- Manage existing SSLs for any of your domains or subdomains
- Delete or replace expired certificates
🔐 Why SSL/TLS Matters:
- Builds visitor trust by showing the secure padlock icon in browsers
- Improves Google ranking as HTTPS is a ranking factor
- Secures login pages, payments, forms, and user data
- Required for modern browsers — without SSL, visitors may see a “Not Secure” warning
