# How to install an SSL Certificate in cPanel?

**SSL** certificates are very important for online shopping portals or websites that require encrypting sensitive information transferred between the user and the website.

They are also important to avoid security alerts that browsers may display.

To install the **SSL** certificate in **cPanel**, follow these steps:

1. In the control panel, go to **SSL/TLS Status** under the **Security** section.

2. In the **SSL Status** screen, you will see your domains, subdomains, and their SSL coverage status.

By clicking the **Run AutoSSL** button, you can install the certificate on all domains and subdomains in your account. The process is automatic.

If you want to exclude a specific domain or subdomain from SSL coverage, you can do so using the **Exclude from AutoSSL** option provided for each.
