How to install a third-party SSL certificate
Posted: May 14th, 2018
This article describes how to obtain and install a third-party SSL certificate on your Hosting account. All our Hosting servers support Server Name Indication (SNI), which means SSL certificates do not require a dedicated IP address to work correctly.
There are two ways to install a third-party SSL Certificate on your hosting account with us:
1) You can purchase a brand-new SSL certificate. To do this, you must first generate a private key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in Plesk. You submit the CSR to the third-party provider, who then generates an SSL certificate and sends it to you.
2) If you have already purchased an SSL certificate from another provider for your domain, you can install it in Plesk. To do this, you must have the private key and SSL certificate. Some SSL certificates require a Certificate Authority (CA) bundle as well. (The CA bundle may also be called an Intermediate Certificate.)
