SSL certificates are essential for keeping your website secure and trusted by visitors. They encrypt data between your server and your users, preventing sensitive information from being exposed.
In WHM (Web Host Manager), you can install SSL certificates for your domains. However, since SSL installation involves server-level changes, LyteHosting’s technical team handles this process for you to ensure everything is done correctly.
Why We Handle SSL Installation for You
While WHM provides an interface to install SSL certificates, the process requires:
-
Correct certificate and key matching.
-
Proper configuration of your server and services (e.g., Apache).
-
Ensuring the certificate is valid and trusted.
Any mistake may cause downtime or “insecure connection” errors. That’s why our technical team takes care of SSL installations directly.
What You Should Do if You Need an SSL Certificate Installed
1. Contact our Support Team: Provide your SSL certificate details (or request one if you haven’t purchased it yet).
2. Wait for our Technical Team to Process the Installation: We’ll ensure the SSL is properly installed and active.
3. Test your Website: Once installed, your website will be accessible over HTTPS, and visitors will see the secure padlock icon in their browser.
Benefits of Having SSL Installed
-
Protects sensitive data such as passwords and payment details.
-
Increases customer trust with the HTTPS padlock symbol.
-
Prevents browser “Not Secure” warnings.
-
Improves your website’s SEO ranking.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate encrypts communication between your website and its visitors, keeping data private and secure.
Q: Do I need to buy an SSL certificate separately?
LyteHosting provides free SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt for supported domains. If you prefer a premium SSL (e.g., Extended Validation), you can purchase it and provide the certificate files to our team.

In most cases, installation is completed within a few minutes after you submit your request.
