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.
