This guide details the conditions and procedure for using a Sectigo Infomaniak certificate on a site hosted elsewhere, with a third-party host.

Preamble

• You have the possibility to benefit from Infomaniak's advantageous rates for your SSL certificates while managing your sites with another host.

Install a Sectigo certificate

Due to the different providers, the installation of your certificate will not be automatic:

1. Obtain the CSR

Export the CSR configuration file from your host and enter it when ordering your certificate with Infomaniak.

2. Confirm domain ownership

Validate the domains included in the certificate via one of the following methods:

• Enter a validation code received at one of the following email addresses (the full email address must exist on the domain to be validated, here “domain.xyz” for example):
  • admin@domain.xyz
  • administrator@domain.xyz
  • hostmaster@domain.xyz
  • postmaster@domain.xyz
  • webmaster@domain.xyz
• Creation of a unique CNAME record in the domain's DNS.
• Validation txt file to upload via FTP to your site.
