With a Smart Hosting or Business Hosting plan, you can independently install an SSL Certificate from a third party at any time using the Certificate manager in the Hostpoint Control Panel.
Add an external/self-signed SSL Certificate
Log in to the Control Panel with your Hostpoint ID. Then select the «Admin» tab followed by «SSL Certificates». This takes you to the Certificate manager.
If you want to add a new Certificate, select «Add an external/self-signed SSL Certificate»
Enter your CSR and the corresponding key and then click on «Install external SSL Certificate».
Once an SSL Certificate has been successfully installed, you can activate it from the desired website on the Edit page.
