What is SSL certificate & how to obtain it?

An SSL certificate allows your website to use HTTPS and establishes an encrypted connection between the website and its visitors. This helps protect sensitive information transmitted between the user's browser and the server.

HostZealot offers SSL certificates issued by Sectigo with broad browser compatibility. To compare the available certificates, pricing, and supported features, visit the HostZealot SSL Certificates page.

How to Order an SSL Certificate

  2. Select the certificate that meets your requirements and click ORDER NOW.
  3. Review your order, specify the required billing details, and complete the payment.

How to Configure and Manage Your SSL Certificate

Attention:
Purchasing an SSL certificate does not automatically make it active. Complete the configuration and any required domain validation before installing and using the certificate.

After payment, the certificate will be available in your account, but it must be configured before it can be issued and used for your domain.

Go to My Services, select SSL Certificates, and open the certificate you purchased. If its status is Awaiting Configuration, proceed with the configuration steps provided in your account.

During configuration, you may need to provide additional information required to issue the certificate, such as a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). You may also need to complete domain validation to confirm that you control the domain for which the certificate is being issued.

The exact steps may vary depending on the certificate. Follow the instructions displayed during the configuration process and complete all required steps before installing the certificate on your server.

From the SSL Certificates section, you can also view information about your certificates and billing cycle, create a support ticket, and check related invoices.
