How to install an Organization Verified SSL certificate

This article assumes you have already purchased an SSL certificate from Hostvento Hosting and have an SSL Token. If you have not yet purchased an SSL Certificate, please peruse our SSL options and purchase the package that best suits your needs.

 In order to expedite the verification process, please look up your organization name. Verifying that the information in the Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S® Number Lookup correlates with your data will expedite the verification process and speed up the issuance of your extended validation certificate.

You may encounter an error message stating “Your connection is not private” or something similar when attempting to visit your cPanel login page. This is caused by the login page defaulting to a self-signed certificate. Please disregard the error message and proceed.

   Cpanel: https://yourdomain.com:2083
   Plesk: https://yourdomain.com:8443
2. As soon as the control panel loads, locate and click the AutoInstall SSL icon which will take you to the SSL Installation section.
