  • Make sure to download it and always keep it secure in local drive

  • Upload the Private Key download from 1&1 CP
  • Upload the SSL Certificate (.CER) download from 1&1 CP
• Troubleshooting SSL Issues:

  1. Check the site via https
  2. Check HLT if domain is assigned to an SSL
  3. Check DNS record of the assign domain
  4. For IONOS-Managed SSL (A-record & Name Server should be pointing to us)
  5. Check if SSL is working in the domain
  6. For both Managed & Unmanaged, let the customer reissue the SSL certificate in 1&1 Control Panel. 
  7. For Unmanaged that does not offer reissue, advise customers to choose revoke OLD SSL certificate instead.
