# Installing an SSL certificate in Enhance

<Note>
  **Important!**

  In many cases, you do not need to install an SSL certificate manually. For example, if you are using the free SSL certificate, it is installed automatically. Use this procedure only if you need to install an SSL certificate that you purchased from hosting.com or another provider.
