Can I install a third-party SSL certificate? - SIRSTEVEHQ CP

Yes: if you have an existing external or third-party SSL certificate you can install this at SIRSTEVEHQ CP.

Your certificate provider will need to provide the following sections for us to be able to install the SSL certificate:

  • Certificate
  • Private Key
  • CA Bundle / Intermediate Certificate

These details will need to be entered within the SSL/TLS section within a SIRSTEVEHQ CP hosting package: SIRSTEVEHQ CP -> SSL/TLS.

SSL-TLS

Note: Your Private Key will have been provided when you generated a CSR using your organisation's details. If you have any questions about this, the certificate provider will be able to help.

Please also note that SSL certificates can take up to 30 minutes to install on to the web server. If your A records are then pointing to the IP address of the hosting package then your site should show as secure.

If you don’t have an external SSL then you can either apply the Free SIRSTEVEHQ SSL, or purchase a SIRSTEVEHQ SSL from  here.
