You will need an SSL Certificate to log in securely to WHM, cPanel, and webmail. You can purchase a signed certificate from an SSL certificate provider with the name of your choice, for example, secure.primarydomain.com or login.primarydomain.com. To install and manage the service certificate,
- Log in to the WHM by going to yourdomain.com/whm in a browser. Replace yourdomain.com with your domain.
- Once you get to the login page, enter your username and password.
- Username will be root.
- Password will be the root password for your server.
- If this is your first time logging into the WHM, you may see a page titled Feature Showcase. Click on Exit to WHM at the bottom of the page.

- Click on the Manage Service SSL Certificates from the list.
