Here  is   simple  1- 2 – 3  way  to install YOUR  SSL  certificate  for your website.

Step 1: Install the SSL Server Certificate

1. Login to cPanel.
2. Click SSL/TLS Manager > Certificates (CRT) > Generate, view, upload…
3. Your SSL server certificate will be sent to you by email. The email message includes the web server certificate that you purchased in the body of the email message. It will be labled “Server Certificate (public key)”. It is also downloadable from your SSL Manager account. Copy the certificate from the body of the email to your clipboard.
4. Paste the certificate into the Upload a New Certificate box and click Upload.

Step 2: Setup the Domain

1. Click SSL/TLS Manager > Setup a SSL certificate to work with your site. If this option is not available to you your ISP may have disabled it and you will need to contact them to complete the your SSL setup.
2. From the Domain drop down menu select the domain you want to use the SSL Certificate on. The system will attempt to Fetch the SSL Certificate and corresponding private key.
3. If you are installing an Extended Validation (EV) certificate copy and paste the EV intermediate CA Bundle into the Paste the ca bundle here box. DO NOT do this step unless you are installing an EV certificate.
4. Click on Install Certificate. If you receive an error you may need to contact your web hosting provider for additional support.

Troubleshooting/Testing

To verify if your certificate is installed correctly, use the GeoTrust Certificate Installation Checker.

Test your SSL certificate by using a browser to connect to your server. Use the https protocol directive. For example, if your SSL was issued to secure.mysite.com, enter https://secure.mysite.com into your browser.

Your browser’s padlock icon will be displayed in the locked position if your certificate is installed correctly and the server is properly configured for SSL.
