In case you need to use an SSL Certificate for your website, in order to protect the payment and login information that users send, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the information related to the entity which 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 should be submitted to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted information and depending on it, gives the SSL certificate. The SSL installation requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that is generated along with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. An Internet site which has an SSL installed can be opened with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format through a web browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Hosting
In case you host a site in a cloud hosting account ordered from our company and its visitors send private data, you'll be able to obtain an SSL certificate for it straight from your website hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, thus you just need to choose the domain/subdomain and enter the required details for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail message to approve your order and soon after the SSL is issued, it will be set up automatically by our system, so you won't need to deal with any codes or settings. If you'd like to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only obtain a CSR using your Control Panel and then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You shall find the private key generated together with the CSR in the same section.
