In case you need to use an SSL Certificate on your site, in order to protect the payment and login information that users send, 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 example the exact website address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It has to be submitted to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the provided info and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL installation requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique private key that is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website that has an SSL installed can be loaded with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format from a web browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Hosting
We offer SSL certificates along with our shared hosting packages, so if you'd like to provide protection to the details your visitors submit, you'll be able to acquire one from the Hepsia Control Panel. Using our SSL wizard, you will be able to type in the company/personal details which you would like to be associated with the certificate and our system will create the CSR along with a unique private key. You'll get an e-mail message from our supplier in order to confirm the order and after that, the SSL certificate will be set up automatically in case you have selected this feature in the wizard throughout your order. This way, you won't need to do anything at all manually since our system will do the necessary and your new certificate will be active soon after that. Certainly, in case you prefer to use some other SSL vendor, you can still use the CSR that you have created through your account.
