Do I need to install SSL on my server?

I have a virtual server with a few websites on it. To be honest I know next to nothing about SSL. When Itry to log in to my servers Web Host Manager or any of my sites Cpanels I get a screen (In chrome) saying "This website is not trusted". Is this because the server needs to have SSL installed on it?

Maybe it's not even to do with SSL, but any explanation is appreciated.

SSL secures your conecction between your browser and the server. If you have important data there you should install SSL to protect your connection from "sniffing".

SSL is network protocol so you have to install it or enable it on the server.

here is resource for installing/enabling SSL on Apache server:
