A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you want to have an SSL certificate which will encrypt the payment and login details which will be exchanged between your site and its visitors. The CSR contains info about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address plus e-mail, company name and unit, and the like. Based upon this code, a registered SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to identify that they're a trusted issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all of the four codes - both the keys, the certificate along with the CSR. After that, you can use a URL that begins with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your website visitors will be able to view the information that you've provided for the CSR through their web browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Web Hosting

If you host a site in a shared web hosting account purchased from our company and its visitors send private data, you will be able to obtain an SSL certificate for it directly from your web hosting Control Panel and with no more than a few clicks. We have an easy-to-use order wizard, so you just need to select the domain/subdomain and type in the necessary data for your Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an e-mail to approve the order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll be set up automatically by our system, so you will not need to deal with any codes or settings. If you would like to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only obtain a CSR from your Control Panel then copy the code that you need to submit for the SSL. You shall find the private key generated together with the CSR in the very same section.

SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you launch an e-store and you have some login form and your site is hosted in a semi-dedicated server account on our cloud hosting platform, you may want to use an SSL certificate. Since we supply SSLs along with our hosting services, you're able to acquire a new certificate through the very same Hepsia Control Panel where you manage your site content. All that you will have to do is to enter the necessary data - business and personal. Since we have an auto-installer, our system will create the Certificate Signing Request plus the Private Key, then monitor the SSL status with our vendor and set up everything for you.
