How to Install a Third-Party SSL Certificate on Vacation Labs?
Please follow the following steps to install SSL certificate files for your website on your Vacation Labs admin panel:
SSL Certificate Files
You can purchase SSL certificates from any 3rd party platform like GoDaddy, Name.com, Comodo, etc.
Important Requirements
Once you have purchased the SSL certificate, you will need 2 very important things:
CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
Unique Key
Note: If you have renewed your previous SSL certificate and installing the new files then use
the same KEY file that was used the last time. If you have purchased a
completely new SSL certificate then keep the KEY files saved because they will be
used the next time when the installation has to be done again.
To generate a CSR and Unique Key file check out our support article: How to generate CSR and Unique Key.
Once you have purchased the SSL certificate you will have to go through a standard Domain Verification process required by the above mentioned SSL providers. (Check their support documents to know more about Domain verification.)
Once you get the SSL certificate (.zip file), unzip and place the contents in a folder.
