If you wish to use an SSL Certificate for your website, in order to protect the payment and login information that users submit, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the information for the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, for instance 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 provided info and based on it, gives the SSL certificate. The SSL installation requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique private key that's 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 information submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format via a web browser.

SSL Certificate Generator in Web Hosting

If you host a site in a web hosting account acquired through our company and its customers send sensitive information, you can obtain an SSL certificate for it directly from your website hosting Control Panel and with no more than a couple of clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, which means that you just need to select the domain/subdomain and enter the needed information for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail message to approve the order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it'll be installed automatically by our system, so you will not have to deal with any codes or settings. If if you plan to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only obtain a CSR using your Control Panel and then copy the code that you need to submit for the SSL. You shall find the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.

SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel that comes with our semi-dedicated server accounts has an inbuilt SSL certificate request generator, so if you host a site that you would like to secure, you'll be able to order a new SSL with several clicks. You will only have to enter the information for your certificate if it's not the same as the one you already have inside the account and our system will generate the Certificate Signing Request along with the private key related to it. If you decide to purchase the SSL through us, you just need to choose the auto-configuration option during your order and our system will do the needed, so you won't have to set up the certificate manually. In the event that you wish to get the SSL from a different company, you just have to save the CSR code.
