If you would like to use an SSL Certificate for your site, to protect the payment and login information that users upload, you'll 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 instance the exact website address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It needs to be sent to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted info and based on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. An Internet site which has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format via a web browser.

SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Website Hosting

In case you host a website in a shared website hosting account obtained from our company and its customers upload private info, you will be able to get an SSL certificate for it straight from your web hosting Control Panel and with no more than a couple of clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, so you only need to select the domain/subdomain and type in the mandatory details for the Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email message to approve your order and shortly 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 generate a CSR through your Control Panel and then copy the code that you are required to submit for the SSL. You will see the private key generated together with the CSR in the very same section.
