All hosting companies have slightly different ways but they're all basically the same.

Here is a general answer to installing a certificate through your hosting company.

1. Make sure that you are using a dedicated IP Address.

2. Purchase the SSL certificate of your choice from our store.

3. After a couple minutes you will receive an email with a link, follow that link to Generate a CSR file.

4. Fill out the CSR forum using the same information and email address that is registered with WHOIS.

5. Once the CSR forum/file has been submitted simply contact the host company's support team, informing them that you have purchased an SSL certificate.

6. They will process the request and install the certificate for you.

*Depending on the Hosting company they will either do it for free your charge a couple bucks for installation.
