A WHM (web hosting manager) should be provided with your cpanel if you have
dedicated server. There is a function for generating CSR and installing SSL
in the WHM. It's so easy to use. You can do it yourself without any problem.

These were discussions in this list. Many people found it's almost
impossible to manage interchange without telnet access. These is document in
the interchange FQA talking the necessty of telent access for using
interchange. It may be a good idea to take a look at msihosting.com where
you may find every thing you need.

Can someone who has experience installing SSL certificates please help?

I would like to add SSL to my Interchange site which is hosted by
webhostxl.com on a dedicated server.  The company has said that they
will install the certificate for free, however, when I went to order the
certificate (from instantssl.com) they say that the first step in
ordering is to create a Certificate Signing Request using the following
command:

openssl req –new –nodes -keyout myserver.key –out server.csr

O.K., I can do that on my local computer, but doesn't the private key
need to be created and reside on the server that hosts the site?  I
could run the command on the dedicated server, but my hosting plan
doesn't include telnet access.

My goal is to secure checkout.html, account.html, and the admin UI.  Can
someone suggest the best way to go about this?  I would appreciate any
help.

Regards,
Jeff Obranovich
