http://forums.cpanel.net – I know this kind of questions been asked here many times and I read through every single one of them and still do not understand how to do this at all. I basically have a VPS server with a hosting account that has 1 dedicated IP. This hosting account has domain.com and subdomain.domain.com that points to another folder in the public_html So, I generate CSR key for *.domain.com and purchased the SSL from Godaddy and got the certificate and budle cert from Godaddy Now, my question is how do I install the certs in WHM or Cpanel for bot of my domain.com and subdomain.domain.com? Since (HowTos)

Stories similar to How to install wildcard SSL?

Sorry, if this is very vendor specific but I purchased an inexpensive SSL Cert from GoDaddy. Right now everything on production is hosted off of www.domain.com. When specifying the common name would a wildcard (ie *.domain.com) cover the case of a lack of a third-level domain such as domain.com? Just to be sure, I made it for www.domain.com rather than a wildcard.

I purchased an SSL cert from GoDaddy and followed instructions 1 & 2 on this guide: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Https

When I paste my CSR into the GoDaddy console, it says "Domain name empty, can't retrieve subdomain." - Should I continue on with the steps 3 & 4 on that instruction page? I got the impression they were optional.

I have a issue with Plesk to set the right path for a subdomain for a subdomain of a domain alias.

The structure I have:

domain.nl (Head domain)

*.domain.nl (wilcard subdomain) (points to: '/public_html/s') domain.com (alias for domain.nl)

It's not really possible to create a wildcard subdomain for the 'domain.com(alias of domain.nl) like I did for the '.domain.nl' wildcard subdomain.

I have Domain Registration & Web Hosting from 123-reg.co.uk for our Website and Other 4 Web Site i want to relocate to our Purchased VPS Server on Godaddy.com.

Now I want to my add Web Hosting for our domain on our purchased VPS Server from Godaddy and want to stop using Web Hosting from 123-reg.co.uk.

SSL installation 36 weeks 1 day ago

Hello I have a few questions regarding installation of SSL.

The domain for the cpanel account I want to use ssl for is domain.com but I have rewrites to www.domain.com in my .htaccess file.

From what I've read I should get a certificate for www.domain.com then, is this correct?

Should I generate the signing request in WHM or cpanel?

GoDaddy SSL on Shared Hosting 45 weeks 5 days ago

So I'm very new to using SSL certificates and I have been trying to install one on a site for a client. He is using shared hosting for multiple domains through GoDaddy, and the site we're working on is not the primary domain.

He purchased a UCC certificate for multiple domains and I installed it on the shared hosting account.

I do not know anything about this DNS stuff. I don't even know if this should be on stackoverflow or serverfault but anyways...

I have a site at example.com whose IP is 1.2.3.4, I have subdomain at sub.example.com whose IP address is also 1.2.3.4. This site is registered at GoDaddy.

I purchased a wildcard SSL certificate for one of the domains on our server thinking it would also cover the mail.domain.com as well. That account is running on a dedicated static IP and our server is using a shared IP.

I am working with a client who wants to install SSL security for a couple pages on his site.
