A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed when you want to have an SSL certificate that will encrypt the payment and account information which are exchanged between your site and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address as well as email, company name and unit, and the like. Based upon this code, an authorized SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to identify that they're a dependable issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the set up of the SSL involves all 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate plus the CSR. Then, you can use a URL that starts with https:// for your website instead of http:// and your site visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR via their Internet browsers.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Web Hosting
If you host a website in a shared web hosting account acquired from our company and its visitors submit private info, you can obtain an SSL certificate for it straight through your web hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks. We have an easy-to-work-with order wizard, so you only need to select the domain/subdomain and type in the needed info for the Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail to approve the order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it'll be installed automatically by our system, so you will not need to deal with any codes or settings. If you wish to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only get a CSR from your Control Panel then copy the code that you need to submit for the SSL. You will see the private key generated along with the CSR in the same section.
SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you create an e-store or you have some login form and your site is hosted in a semi-dedicated server account on our cloud website hosting platform, you may want to use an SSL certificate. As we provide SSLs along with our hosting services, you can obtain a new certificate through the very same Hepsia Control Panel where you manage your site content. All you will have to do is to type in the required information - personal and business. Considering that we have an auto-installer, our system will generate the Certificate Signing Request and the Private Key, after that keep track of the SSL status with our vendor and set up everything for you. The only action required by you is to confirm the certificate order by electronic mail. In case you already have a different service provider, you can just obtain a CSR and then submit it to them, so they can issue an SSL that you're able to install in your account with us.
