  1. With every SSL purchase, an SSL configuration link is provided. You need to first visit that link of SSL configuration and enter the captcha shown on the page to log in to the SSL panel.
  2. Once logged in to the SSL configuration URL, the first thing you need to do is enter your CSR. You need to contact your web hosting provider and have the CSR copied there. CSR is generally lengthy text information, and the same shall be copied and pasted as it is.
  3. Once you have the CSR, paste it and click on the continue button over there.
  4. In the next step, you will be asked some contact information to issue the SSL, so please enter the same > after that, you need to use a validation method. If your website is already live without HTTPS then you can use the "HTTP validation" method, and then the system will show you a .txt file and a specific path that file will be uploaded and accessible on your website at the same path with the same file name, and unique content of the text file will be shown on screen.
  5. Once that part is done, wait for 15 minutes. SSL will be issued and sent via email. Or after 15 min you can revisit the same SSL Configuration link and click on the left side GET Certificate button, and your web host can use that information to install that SSL on your website.
