cPanel Security error while accessing my cPanel

Is My SSL Certificate and connection valid?

This certificate in fact is valid and your connection is secured. This means that all data you exchange with our server is protected and nobody except you and our server know what you do in the cPanel.

But why do I get the "untrusted" or Error message?

It looks untrusted to third-parties authorities. This is true, because the certificate was issued by us and but not them and they just can't verify it.

Inway Hosting provides a free shared SSL certificate so you can connect securely to cpanel.

As the SSL certificate isn't specific for your domain, you need to add the exception.

You can pay for your own SSL certificate but if you are only connecting to cpanel / WHM don't bother. If on the other hand you want to run an e-commerce site, the having one is a must.

Disabling that annoying SSL reminder:

While Accessing My cPanel in IE (Internet Explorer) I get - "There is a problem with this website's security certificate"

- Click 'Continue to this website (not recommended)' link to access your control panel

While Accessing My cPanel in Mozilla Firefox I get - "This Connection is Untrusted"

If you see the "This Connection is Untrusted" message

1. Please click on "I understand the risks"

2. and then click on the "Add exception" button that will appear

3. Make sure the "Permanently store this exception" check-box is checked

4. Click on "Confirm this security exception"



This will add our certificate to your operating system permanently and will not warn you anymore again for that particular site



While Accessing My cPanel in Google Chrome I get - "The site's security certificate is not trusted!"

- Click Proceed Anyway.
