If you intend to use an SSL Certificate on your site, to protect the payment and login data which users upload, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the info related to the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, such as the exact website address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It should be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted details and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The SSL installation requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key which is generated along with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website which has an SSL installed can be loaded with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format via a web browser.

SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Web Hosting

We offer SSL certificates together with our shared web hosting packages, so if you wish to protect the info your visitors send, you're able to obtain one from the Hepsia Control Panel. Using our SSL wizard, you're able to enter the company/personal details which you'd like to be associated with the certificate and our system will create the CSR along with a unique private key. You will receive an email message from our vendor to confirm the order and next, the SSL certificate will be installed automatically in case you have selected this feature in the wizard during your order. This way, you won't have to do anything manually as our system will do the necessary and your unique certificate will be active quickly after that. Needless to say, in case you wish to use some other SSL vendor, you can still use the CSR that you've generated using your account.
