In case you wish to use an SSL Certificate on your website, so as to protect the payment and login information which users upload, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the info for the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for instance the exact web address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It needs to be sent to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the provided data and based on it, issues the SSL certificate. The SSL set up requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that's generated along with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. An Internet site which has an SSL installed can be loaded with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format through a web browser.

SSL Certificate Generator in Hosting

We have an easy-to-use order wizard, so you just need to choose the domain/subdomain and type in the mandatory data for your Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an e-mail message to approve the order and soon after the SSL is issued, it will be set up automatically by our system, so you will not have to deal with any codes or settings. If you wish to use the services of another Certificate Authority, you can only acquire a CSR through your Control Panel then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You'll find the private key generated together with the CSR in the very same section.
