How do I add or manage SSH keys from cPanel?

You can add or manage SSH keys from your cPanel account. 

 

You can log in to your cPanel account directly or within the client portal (If you cannot remember your password, there is a password reset link).


 

Step 1 (a) - Logging into cPanel directly

You can log in directly to your cPanel account by using your domain name followed by /cPanel in the URL.

e.g - https://domainname.co.uk/cpanel (Note, please change domainname.co.uk to your own domain name)


 

Step 1 (b) - Logging into cPanel via the Client Portal

Once logged in to your client portal, click on the 'Services' tab and then 'My Services. Select the 'active' button (under the 'Status' column) for the service you wish to update.

 

 

On the left-hand side, you will see the 'Overview' section. Click on 'Login to cPanel'.

 


 

Step 2

Once logged into your cPanel account, scroll down to the "Security" section and click on "SSH Access" icon.


 

Step 3

Now, click on "Manage SSH Keys" button to import public key that was generated.


 

Step 4

Click on "Import Key" and it will redirect to a page, where you'll need to provide a name to the key, a passphrase and paste the public_key information. Pasting the private key is optional. Once you have entered the details, please click on "Import" button.

 


 

Step 5

Now, from the "Manage SSH Keys" page click on "Manage" from the listed public keys section for the key you've just uploaded.


 

Step 6

Next, click on "Authorize"
