 <\/p>\n

Step 2<\/strong> > \u00a0The next step is to issue a new SSL certificate for the desired domain name. Choose from one of your domains in the list then click \u2018Issue<\/strong>\u2018 under Actions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 3 ><\/p>\n

In the next window, you will have multiple\u00a0Domain<\/strong>\u00a0options. For better understanding, we\u2019ll explain each one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Include Wildcard?\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 select this option only if you want to install a Let\u2019s Encrypt Wildcard SSL which will cover *.yourdomain.com. To include wildcard domains, please make sure to choose first the dns-01 validation method.<\/p>\n

Add cPanel subdomains?<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 to select some additional cPanel subdomains*. This is optional and it\u2019s not a mandatory checkbox.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

cPanel subdomains are those such as\u00a0cpanel.*<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0webmail.*<\/em>, which when added, allow access to cPanel services via that subdomain.<\/p>\n

Step 4)<\/strong>\u00a0Choose an SSL validation method:<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

http-01<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0You will usually want to use the HTTP validation method.<\/p>\n

dns-01<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 If your domain\u2019s nameservers point to cPanel, then you have the option of using the DNS validation method instead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you wish to issue wildcards, you MUST use the DNS validation method.<\/p>\n

Step 5)<\/strong>\u00a0Once you\u2019ve chosen the validation method, click on the \u2018Issue<\/strong>\u2018 button.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it!\u00a0<\/strong>The SSL certificate will be installed on\u00a0your domain. The virtual host will be automatically updated with the new certificate and Apache will be restarted in the background.<\/p>\n
