A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed in case you want to get an SSL certificate that will encode all the payment and account details that will be exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains information about the website as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address and e-mail, company name and unit, and the like. Based upon this code, a registered SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to recognize that they're a trusted issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate and the CSR. After that, you'll be able to use a URL beginning with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your site visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR via their web browsers.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Hosting
Given that SSL certificates are some of the services that we supply together with our shared hosting plans, you can receive an SSL for any website hosted in an account on our end with only several clicks. In addition, we have an auto-installer tool, so after you approve the order via e-mail, our system will set everything up for you and it will install the certificate, the CSR plus the two private keys. Soon after that, you'll be able to load your site with https:// and any info submitted on it will be encrypted, therefore no unauthorized people can intercept it. When you have selected some other SSL service provider, you can only create a Certificate Signing Request inside your account on our end together with the unique private key, then save the CSR code and submit it to the other service provider.
