A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you would like to obtain an SSL certificate which will encode the payment and account details which will be exchanged between your website and its users. The CSR contains information about the website as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address plus e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, a certified SSL vendor gives you the certificate, which is digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to identify that they're a trusted issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all four codes - the two keys, the certificate along with the CSR. Next, you'll be able to use a URL that starts with https:// for your website rather than http:// and your site visitors will be able to view the info that you've provided for the CSR via their web browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Hosting

In case you host a site in a hosting account obtained from our company and its users upload private information, you can get an SSL certificate for it straight through your website hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of clicks. We have an easy-to-work-with order wizard, so you only need to choose the domain/subdomain and enter the needed data for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail message to approve the 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'd like to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only obtain a CSR using your Control Panel 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 same section.
