Can I install a third-party certificate?

Yes: if you have an existing external or third-party SSL certificate you can install this at Umbrella Host.

Your certificate provider will need to provide the following sections for us to be able to install the SSL certificate:

Certificate
Private Key
CA Bundle / Intermediate Certificate

These details will need to be entered within the SSL/TLS section within a Umbrella Host hosting package: Manage Products > Login to Control Panel [select package] -> SSL/TLS.

Note: Your Private Key will have been provided when you generated a CSR using your organisation's details. If you have any questions about this, the certificate provider will be able to help.

Please also note that SSL certificates can take up to 30 minutes to install on to the web server. If your A records are then pointing to the IP address of the hosting package then your site should show as secure.

If you don’t have an external SSL then you can either apply the free Umbrella Host SSL, or purchase a Umbrella Host SSL from umbrella-host.co.uk.
