Generating Signed SSL in WHM for Root

I am a new user of WHM, I realize I have a learning curve, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to install a signed ssl certificate for my server. Right now when I try to connect to cpanel, mail or whm, I get an error because it is a self signed certificate. I want to install a signed SSL, but I can not figure where to do it in WHM. Also will a normal SSL work, or do I need a wildcard? Will this also help my email issues? I try to connect my email clients and get the same security warnings and some programs like apple mail and outlook will not connect.

  Hello :) I suggest purchasing a signed certificate for the server's hostname, and then installing it for each service. The following document explains how to use "WHM Home >> Service Configuration >> Manage Service SSL Certificates": Manage Service SSL Certificates - Documentation - cPanel Documentation You should also review the options under the "Redirection" tab in "WHM >> Tweak Settings": Tweak Settings - Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thank you.
