A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you would like to acquire an SSL certificate which will encrypt the payment and login info that will be exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains info about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, and the like. Based upon this code, a certified SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to identify that they're a trusted issuer. Throughout 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 along with the CSR. Then, you can use a URL that begins with https:// for your website rather than http:// and your site visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their web browsers.

Employing our SSL wizard, you are able to type in the company/personal details which you wish to be associated with the certificate and our system will create the CSR along with a special private key. You'll receive an email message from our supplier in order to verify your order and after that, the SSL certificate will be set up automatically if you have selected this function in the wizard during your order. This way, you won't need to do anything manually as our system will do the required and your unique certificate will be active soon after that.

SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you create an online store or you have some login form and your website is hosted in a semi-dedicated server account on our cloud website hosting platform, you may wish to use an SSL certificate. Since we provide SSLs along with our website hosting services, you are able to obtain your new certificate via the same Hepsia Control Panel where you manage your site content.
