New Server, CPanel: Understanding and Getting Around the Shared SSL Browser Warning.

When you go to CPanel via your domain name you may get the message: "SSL encryption is required for access to this server." Click on "Log in using SSL." You may then get a warning. Here's an explanation:

Newer servers have much improved security but can cause false warnings. When using a shared SSL, your browser will give a browser warning if you try to use your domain name.

One way to avoid the warning and still use your domain name is to purchase a private SSL certificate and a dedicated IP address.

However, since CPanel is safe, here is how you can bypass the warnings and still access CPanel with your domain name.

Firefox

  1. Go to the warning message and click the "I Understand the Risks" link at the bottom.
  2. Click the "Add Exception" button.
  3. Click the "Get Certificate" button.
  4. Click the "Confirm Security Exception" button.




Internet Explorer
  1. Go to the warning message and click "Continue to this website (not recommended)."
