In case you wish to use an SSL Certificate on your site, in order to protect the payment and login info which users upload, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the info for the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for example the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It needs to be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted details and based on it, gives the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a special private key that's generated along with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website which has an SSL installed can be opened with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format via an Internet browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Hosting
If you host a site in a hosting account acquired through our company and its visitors submit private info, you will be able to acquire an SSL certificate for it directly from your website hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks. We have an easy-to-use order wizard, thus you only have to select the domain/subdomain and type in the mandatory information for the Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an email to approve the order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll be set up automatically by our system, so you won't have to deal with any codes or settings. If you would like to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only generate a CSR using your Control Panel and then copy the code that you are required to submit for the SSL. You shall find the private key generated together with the CSR in the very same section.
SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
You're able to generate a new Certificate Signing Request and a Private Key for any site that you host inside a semi-dedicated server account on our end by using the SSL generator instrument that's available in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You only need to type in the SSL contact and administrative data then the two codes will be generated and available in your account all the time even if you do not save them right away. As we provide SSL certificates, you can acquire one via our company and during the CSR generation you can enable the auto-configuration option that we offer, then proceed with your order. In this way, you won't have to deal with anything else afterwards because our system will set up the SSL for you when it is issued. To use an alternative certificate supplier, you need to save the CSR and provide it to them, then install the SSL that they'll give you. Our tech support is at your service 24/7 if you experience any difficulties with the latter.
