cPanel Setup

For shared hosting or cPanel accounts.

Option A: Panel Supports Custom ACME

If your cPanel provider supports custom ACME settings, enter:

• Server URL
• EAB MAC ID
• EAB MAC key

Save and run AutoSSL.

Then open:

https://example.com

Option B: SSH + acme.sh

If cPanel provides Terminal or SSH, use webroot validation.

1. Set Variables

export DOMAIN="example.com"
export EMAIL="admin@example.com"
export ACME_SERVER="your Server URL"
export EAB_KID="your EAB MAC ID"
export EAB_HMAC_KEY="your EAB MAC key"
export WEBROOT="$HOME/public_html"

2. Install and Register

curl https://get.acme.sh | sh -s email="$EMAIL"

~/.acme.sh/acme.sh --register-account \
  --server "$ACME_SERVER" \
  --eab-kid "$EAB_KID" \
  --eab-hmac-key "$EAB_HMAC_KEY" \
  -m "$EMAIL"

3. Issue the Certificate

~/.acme.sh/acme.sh --issue \
  --server "$ACME_SERVER" \
  -d "$DOMAIN" \
  -w "$WEBROOT"

Certificate files are usually in:

~/.acme.sh/example.com_ecc/

or:

~/.acme.sh/example.com/

4. Install in cPanel

Open:

SSL/TLS -> Manage SSL sites

Paste:

• Certificate: fullchain.cer
• Private Key: example.com.key

Then open:

https://example.com
