SSL certificates are essential for securing your website, protecting customer data, and ensuring browsers recognize your site as trustworthy. While some SSL certificates install automatically, others may need to be installed manually through the customer portal.
At LyteHosting, our technical team handles manual SSL installations on your behalf to ensure accuracy, avoid errors, and keep your website secure.
Why We Handle Manual SSL Installations for You
Installing an SSL manually requires:
-
Uploading and matching the SSL certificate, private key, and CA bundle correctly.
-
Configuring the domain to use HTTPS properly.
-
Ensuring no misconfigurations cause downtime or security warnings.
Since incorrect setup can result in “Not Secure” browser warnings or downtime, LyteHosting takes care of the installation process for you.
What You Should Do if You Need a Manual SSL Installation
1. Log in to your Customer Portal.
2. Submit a support request and provide the SSL files (certificate, private key, and CA bundle) if you already have them.
3. Wait for our technical team to complete the installation.
4. Verify your site.
Once installed, your website will load over HTTPS with the padlock symbol.
