SSL/TLS Manager

For cPanel version 11.38

(Home >> Security >> SSL/TLS Manager)

Overview

The SSL and TLS features will enhance your website's security. These features generate and manage SSL certificates, signing requests, and keys. These features are useful for websites that regularly work with sensitive information, such as login credentials and credit card numbers. This sensitive information will be sent to and from your website as encrypted data versus plain text. This encryption makes it difficult for malicious users to intercept communications between visitors and your website.
