A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you want to have an SSL certificate that will encrypt all of the payment and account info that are exchanged between your site and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address and e-mail, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, a certified SSL vendor issues the certificate, which is digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to show that they're a dependable 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 along with the CSR. Next, you can use a URL beginning with https:// for your site instead of http:// and the website visitors can view the info that you have provided for the CSR through their Internet browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Website Hosting

In case you host a website in a website hosting account purchased through our company and its customers upload private data, you can get an SSL certificate for it straight from your website hosting Control Panel and with no more than a few clicks. We have an easy-to-work-with order wizard, therefore you just need to select the domain/subdomain and enter the required information for the Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email to approve your order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it'll be installed automatically by our system, so you won't need to deal with any codes or settings. If you intend to use the services of another Certificate Authority, you can only generate a CSR through your Control Panel and then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You will see the private key generated together with the CSR in the very same section.
