and you must have a dedicated ip for the domain that will be using the SSL certificate or it will not work

SSL CERTS
get the following from the customer
email to send the cert to:
host (example www.mydomain.com or secure.mydomain.com)
City
Company Name appears on cert
Company Division appears on cert 'admins name is fine'
email (shown on certificate)
password (incase of changes to cert)
dedicated ip address
-----------this gets entered into whm /generate an ssl cert
then buy the certificate using the link above using the same customer information
After you purchase it the registrant will receive an email that needs to be replied to for the cert to be issued. Then the certificate is emailed to the email address of the SSL account holder. This procedure can then be followed to install it. Once the certificate is received, then using the certificate and key, in whm/installl certificate
Type the domain name and then tab out. It should show the info now. Then take the cert and make it a file.crt
Then save then cut and paste into the top box
