If you intend to use an SSL Certificate for your site, in order to protect the payment and login information that users send, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information related to the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted 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 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 is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website that has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format through a web browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Web Hosting
As SSL certificates are some of the services which we supply along with our shared web hosting plans, you're able to get an SSL for any site hosted in an account on our end with just a few clicks. What's more, we have an auto-installer instrument, so once you approve your order using electronic mail, our system will set everything up on your behalf and it'll install the certificate, the CSR and the 2 private keys. After that, you'll be able to load your site with https:// and any info submitted on it will be protected, so no unauthorized people can intercept it. If you've picked some other SSL service provider, you can only create a Certificate Signing Request within your account on our end together with the unique private key, then save the CSR code and submit it to the other service provider.
