SSL
stands for Secure Sockets Layer, which is a means of providing encrypted
communications on the Internet. CPanel provides you with an online
SSL Shell (an application) that allows you to log in to the Linux
computer that is your web server and make changes at the server
side. You use Telnet (the Internet standard protocol for remote
login) commands through the SSL Shell to activate the web server.
Note:
If you do not know exactly what you are doing, you can
potentially cause problems on your web server. Please contact your
hosting administrator if you are not sure how to use SSL.
