A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required if you would like to acquire an SSL certificate that will encode all the payment and login information that are exchanged between your website and its customers. The CSR contains info about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, etc. Based on this code, a registered SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they are a reliable issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. Then, you can use a URL that starts with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your website visitors can view the information that you've provided for the CSR through their web browsers.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Hosting
We provide SSL certificates together with our shared hosting plans, so if you'd like to secure the details your visitors submit, you will be able to get one right from the Hepsia Control Panel. Using our SSL wizard, you are able to enter the company/personal details which you want to be associated with the certificate and our system will create the CSR plus a specific private key. You'll receive an e-mail from our vendor in order to confirm the order and next, the SSL certificate will be installed automatically in case you have selected this attribute in the wizard during your order. In this way, you won't need to do anything manually as our system will do the required and your new certificate will be active soon after that. Needless to say, in case you prefer to use some other SSL vendor, you can still use the CSR that you've created through your account.
SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you create an online store and you have some login form and your site is hosted in a semi-dedicated server account on our cloud website hosting platform, you might wish to use an SSL certificate. As we supply SSLs along with our web hosting services, you are able to order a new certificate via the very same Hepsia Control Panel where you manage your content. All that you will need to do is to enter the required data - business and personal. Considering that we have an auto-installer, our system will generate the Certificate Signing Request plus the Private Key, after that monitor the SSL status with our vendor and install everything for you. The sole action required by you is to accept the certificate order through electronic mail. If you already have some other service provider, you can only get a CSR and then submit it to them, so they can give you an SSL that you are able to install in your account with us.
