This article will cover how to use your Nexcess Client Portal to install your previously purchased SSL certificate for your Nexcess Cloud service.
What you need...
- You will need your Nexcess Client Portal 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.
