A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you wish to get an SSL certificate that will encode all of the payment and account information that are exchanged between your site and its clients. The CSR contains info about the website as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address and email, company name and unit, etcetera. Based upon this code, a registered SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to recognize that they are a reliable 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 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate plus the CSR. Then, you'll be able to 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 have provided for the CSR via their Internet browsers.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Website Hosting
We offer SSL certificates together with our shared website hosting plans, so if you'd like to provide protection to the data your visitors upload, you are able to obtain one from your Hepsia Control Panel. Using our SSL wizard, you're able to enter the company/personal details that you need to be associated with the certificate and our system will generate the CSR along with a special private key. You'll receive an e-mail message from our vendor to verify the order and following that, the SSL certificate will be installed automatically in case you have selected this feature in the wizard during your order. In this way, you will not need to do anything manually as our system will do the required and your brand new certificate will be active soon after that. Needless to say, if you prefer to use a different SSL vendor, you can still use the CSR that you have generated through your account.
SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you develop an electronic shop or 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. Since we supply SSLs in addition to our hosting services, you'll be able to get a new certificate from the same Hepsia Control Panel where you manage your site content. All that you'll have to do is to type in the required information - personal and business. Since we have an auto-installer, our system will create the Certificate Signing Request as well as the Private Key, after that keep track of the SSL status with our vendor and install everything for you. The sole action required on your end is to accept the certificate order through electronic mail. In case you already have a different service provider, you can just obtain a CSR and then send it to them, so that they can issue an SSL which you will be able to set up inside your account with us.
