Step 1: Generate a Private Key

Login to cPanel.

• Click SSL/TLS Manager > Private Keys (KEY).
• Scroll down near the bottom of the page to the Generate a New Key section.
• Select the desired domain name from the pull-down menu, or type it into the Host field (e.g., www.domain.com).
• Select the key bit-length. We recommend 2048 (2048 is required for EV certificates).
• Click the Generate button to generate the new key. A new private key is generated and is stored on the server

Step 2: Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

• Click SSL/TLS Manager > Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
• Using the CSR Legend on the right-hand side of this page, fill out the Generate a New Certificate Signing Request form.
• Click the Generate button to generate the new CSR.
• cPanel shows you the CSR in the top box under SSL Certificate Signing Request (don’t worry about the contents of the box below it, you don’t need it).
• Copy everything in the top box.
• Save a copy of your CSR. The CSR will be needed during the online order process. You’ll be asked to copy and paste your CSR into a special CSR box.
