Step 3.

Step 5.

Step 6.
You will need to generate your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and determine your approval email. If you are third-party hosted you must contact your hosting service provider and request that they provide you with the CSR for our domain’s website.

If you are hosted with Rebel you can obtain the CSR through the Hosting OS or you can check instructions on How to generate CSR? It is important to copy the entire CSR text, including the -----BEGIN/END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----.

Below you will find important information to consider before you begin the process of purchasing an SSL certificate for your domain:

• To ensure that your SSL certificate is valid for both www.yourdomain.tld as well as yourdomain.tld, you must have your hosting provider generate the CSR with the common name www.yourdomain.tld
• The Wildcard SSL option allows you to secure the main domain as well as sub-domains, such as blog.domain, mobile.domain, etc. If you selected the Wildcard option, the CSR should be generated with *.yourdomain.tld
• For the Alpha and Domain level SSL certificates it will be necessary to choose a valid, accessible approver email from a pre-defined list. For more detail, please visit our support article: Which email addresses can I use for SSL validation?

How to generate CSR?

To start the process you'll need to create the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in your Hosting Package.  

Log into your Hosting package through your Hosting Manager, scroll to the domain you wish to add an SSL Certificate for, and click SSL/TLS Certificates.

You'll see a list of the certificates you already have, if any, and an option to upload an existing certificate.  Here we're just going to start with a new certificate request.  Click Add SSL/TLS Certificate.

 
Add the domain name for the certificate you want to install, and fill in all necessary fields with your organization's information. 

The required fields are marked with an asterisk *

If you do not have a company name, you can use your first and last name.

Once the form is filled out, click Request.

You'll be returned to the SSL screen and you should see your certificate populated in your list.

Click on the domain name/certificate request to view the properties, and scroll down to the CSR.  It should look like this:

Copy all of that text, including the parts that read -----BEGIN/END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- 

You will use that CSR to generate your SSL Certificate.

How to generate SSL certificate?
If you have purchased an SSL for your domain through Rebel, you will have an SSL certificate listed in your SSL Manager. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1.
Login to your Rebel account and select SSL Manager.

Step 2.
Click on the red pencil icon and click Complete Your SSL.

Step 3.
Paste the CSR text, including the -----BEGIN/END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- portion, into the box labelled Certificate Signing Request. Click the Validate button, and then click Next.

Step 4.
Enter your contact details, including an approver email address (please note that Organization and Extended SSL certificates don’t actually use approver emails, but you must select one anyway), and click Submit Application.

Step 5.
If you have purchased an Alpha or Domain SSL, confirm the SSL application via the approver email. If you have purchased an Organization or Extended SSL, you will be subject to some additional vetting by our SSL provider, Globalsign.

Step 6.
As soon as the vetting is complete, the SSL certificate will be Active and you will be able to download your certificate in the SSL Manager, hover over the Download SSL arrow, and click on Certificate. The certificate download will include several files. In most cases, the file you need is called X509.cert and INTER.cert.

How to install SSL certificate?
Here are the steps for installing your SSL certificate while hosted at Rebel: If you have purchased an SSL for your domain through Rebel, you will have an SSL certificate listed in your SSL Manager. 

Your downloaded certificate includes several files, and the two in particular we'll need are the ones labelled X509.cert and INTER.cert

To do so, navigate back to your SSL/TLS Certificate section in your Hosting package.  

You should see your (incomplete) SSL certificate listed.  Click on the certificate/domain name to return to the page where you copied the CSR in the above steps.

Scroll down to the section that reads Upload the Certificate Files.

Beside Certificate (*.crt) you should click Choose File and select your X509.cert file

Beside CA certificate (*-ca.crt) you should click Choose File and select your INTER.cert file

Then click Upload Certificate.

How to redirect a site from http to https?

Once the files are uploaded you will need to apply that certificate to your domain.

Go back to the main page of your Hosting package and navigate to the Hosting Settings:

In the Hosting Settings locate the Security section

Put a check beside SSL/TLS support and a check beside Permanent SEO-safe 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS and in the drop down beside Certificate select your new certificate.
