To install the Comodo Essential WildCard SSL certificate on your Esadax server, follow these organized steps:
Access cPanel: Log in to your Esadax account and navigate to cPanel using the provided URL and credentials.
Generate CSR: In the SSL/TLS section of cPanel, generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for your domain.
Purchase SSL Certificate: Obtain the Comodo Essential WildCard SSL certificate from Comodo or their partner Sectigo after generating the CSR.
Download Certificates: Download both the private key (.pem) and public certificate (.crt) files from Comodo/Sectigo.
Upload to cPanel: In cPanel's SSL/TLS section, upload the .pem and .crt files. Ensure you upload both separately if required.
Assign Domains: Select which domains the SSL certificate applies to, including wildcard domains as needed.
Configure SSL Settings: Set up SSL on your server (Apache or Nginx) by configuring virtual hosts or site settings to use the certificate on port 443.
Renew Annually: Renew the SSL certificate annually to avoid expiration and leverage free renewals for 2,3,4,5-year certificates.
Monitor and Support: Be prepared for potential delays due to Brand Validation. Contact Esadax support if issues arise during installation.
