Hello,
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), both frequently referred to as "SSL", are cryptographic protocols ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security ), and every time you read SSL in Directadmin interface or its forums you can be sure that it is about encrypted connections which used certs.
Exclusion: they are different protocols if you configure services as administrator.

I'm afraid, I didn't get your point.
I know they are different protocol, my question is although they are different protocols, is it possible use one cert for both?
A customer asked me this question, " I have HTTPS for my website then I want have tls for mail service, Do I need buy another cert or I can use one cert for both?"
unfortunately I have no idea about the answer.

As of now users cert are installed only in a web-server, the only cert is used for SMTP, POP, IMAP is the cert installed for hostname.
Upcoming feature: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1889 will allow to use one cert for web-server and Dovecot. Exim is next.
