# Upload a Certificate and Private Key

The Certificate Manager supports uploading an existing certificate, chain, and private key directly to the CDN.

          Note:

          

Only one certificate can be linked to a site, so ensure that the certificate covers all the site hosts that are configured for secured traffic.

To upload a certificate:

1. [Login to QC Services](https://qc-services.cqloud.com).
2. Open **Media Delivery** and navigate to **Certificate Management**.

3. In the Certificate Management page, select **Add Certificate**.
4. In the Add Certificate dialog, select **Upload Certificate**.

  - **Certificate**: Import or paste the certificate.

  - **Private Key**: Import or paste the private key.
6. Select **Upload**.
