# How to install an SSL Certificate in HestiaCP?

To activate an SSL certificate for a domain, it must have a **web** space created under a **user**.\
The domain must point to the server where the SSL certificate will be installed.\
\
Once these two requirements are met, follow these steps to install SSL:

1. Log in to the **USER** area.
2. Click on the **user** that has the domain to configure.

3. You should be in the **WEB** area once you enter the new screen.
4. Hover the mouse to the right of the domain you want to activate SSL for.\
   You will see a **pencil** icon appear. Click on that option.

After a few minutes, the SSL certificate will be installed on the domain.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you have domains configured as **Alias**, they must all point to the server or the SSL certificate will fail.\
If you need to add domains as Alias that are not yet delegated, remove them from **Alias**, generate the SSL certificate, and then add them back.
{% endhint %}
