SSL Certificate

Just wanted to clarify Had to move to a new server and since then every time me (or someone with a domain on my server) goes to their cpanel or webmail a security warning appears telling them it is an untrusted site. My server company told me I must get an SSL Certificate to stop this from happening. I looked around and godaddy offers SSL certificate but they have a single domain and for more of a price they offer one for multiple domains. If I am to install on my server itself can I go ahead with just the single domain? and I assume I would install it in the WHM for my server

  Yes, you should ideally purchase it for your hostname, and then install it via: "WHM Home " Service Configuration " Manage Service SSL Certificates" Thank you.

  OK I purchased the SSL Cert via Godaddy but confused on what to do now. I did download the cert which when unzipped was 2 files (one of which is gd_bundle) When I go into Manage SSL Certificates - I assume I should check off all choices to install the SSL Cert (cpanel, Dovecot, EXxim, FTP)? But then when I go into Browse Certificates it is showing 2 certificates one expires 3/18/15 and one expires 3/21/15 but they are both self signed and state that they will cause errors and warnings to be shown in browser windows. Was I supposed to upload the 2 cert files from godaddy somewhere?

  WHM Home " Service Configuration " Manage Service SSL Certificates and paste the SSL crt in the Certificate: Text box Private Key: in the private key box Certificate Authority Bundle in the ca bundle box

  Thanks.... I think I got it installed but I am still receiving warnings when attempting to log into cpanel and webmail When I click on technical details it shows me The certificate is only valid for the following names: server1.domain.net, www.server1.domain.net (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) Did I do something wrong during this process?

  That is the domain my hosting company told me to use when applying for the SSL Cert with godaddy

  Check the following setting under the "Redirection" tab in "WHM Home " Server Configuration " Tweak Settings": "SSL redirect destination" Make sure it's configured to "SSL Certificate Name" so that SSL requests are routed to the correct name. Thank you.
