In case you wish to use an SSL Certificate for your site, to protect the payment and login info which users upload, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the info for the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, for example the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It has to be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted information and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique private key which is generated alongside the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website that has an SSL installed can be loaded with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format from a web browser.

SSL Certificate Generator in Website Hosting

If you host a website in a website hosting account obtained through our company and its customers submit private data, you'll be able to acquire an SSL certificate for it directly through your web hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks. We have an easy-to-work-with order wizard, which means that you only need to choose the domain/subdomain and type in the required info for the Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail message to approve your order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll be set up automatically by our system, so you won't need to deal with any codes or settings. If you intend to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only create a CSR from your Control Panel and then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You shall find the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
