How to install SSL certificates in Nexcess Cloud
Learn how to use the Nexcess Client Portal to install your previously purchased SSL certificate so that it applies to your Nexcess Cloud service.
Prerequisites
- You will need your my.nexcess.net login credentials. If you cannot locate them, click the Forgot Password? link on the login page.
- You need to have an existing Nexcess Cloud service. See the Web hosting in the cloud — create Nexcess Cloud account article for more information. If you are a Nexcess client on a physical (non-cloud) server, see instead How to install SSL certificates with SiteWorx.
- If Let’s Encrypt is already enabled, we need to disable it to see the SSL dropdown list on the portal.
- You will need an SSL certificate. If you have yet to purchase one, see the How existing customers order SSL certificates in the Nexcess Client Portal article.
Step by step instructions
- Log in to my.nexcess.net. From the home page, click Plans:
- Locate the desired domain. Either click its name, or select Plan Dashboard from the menu toggle:
- If you are installing a SSL certificate for a secondary domain, locate that domain by clicking Sites, then select it:
- From the main menu, select SSL:
- Any previously imported or installed certificates will appear in the Select an Existing Certificate dropdown list. If your desired certificate appears in that list, select it.
- Otherwise, fill the Private Key, Certificate, and Chain Certificate fields. Click Install when ready.
- After clicking Install, the procedure is complete.
