How to add an SSL Certificate in Direct Admin Print

Step 1: Log in to DirectAdmin

Log in to DirectAdmin using the details provided in your New Account Information Email.

If you cannot find this email, please check your junk/spam folder or open a support ticket via your client area.

Login URL:
https://server.blazingfastwebhosting.com:2222

Enter your DirectAdmin username and password to proceed.

Step 2: Access SSL Certificates

Once logged in, navigate to:

Account Manager → SSL Certificates

Step 3: Enable Let’s Encrypt (ACME)

• Select “Get automatic certificate from ACME Provider”
• Ensure the correct radio button is selected

This option uses Let’s Encrypt via the ACME protocol to automatically issue your SSL certificate.

Step 4: Select Domains and Subdomains

Choose the domain(s) and any subdomains you want to secure, such as:

• domain.com
• www.domain.com
• mail.domain.com
• webmail.domain.com

Tip: Make sure to include www if you want it covered.

Step 5: Enter Email Address (Optional)

You may enter an email address to receive expiry or recovery notifications.

Step 6: Issue the Certificate

Click “Save” or “Issue” to begin the process.

DirectAdmin will now validate your domain and install the SSL certificate automatically.
This usually takes a few seconds to a minute.

Step 7: Verify SSL Installation

Once complete, test your website by visiting:

• https://yourdomain.com

You can also run a full SSL check using:

• https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest

Notes

• Ensure your domain is pointing to the server before issuing the certificate
• If validation fails, double-check DNS settings and try again
• Certificates will renew automatically when using Let’s Encrypt

If you run into any issues, please contact support and include your domain name so we can assist further.
