In case you intend to use an SSL Certificate on your website, so as to protect the payment and login data which users post, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information related to the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, such as the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It has to be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted data and based on it, gives the SSL certificate. The actual SSL installation requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that is generated alongside the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A site which has an SSL installed can be loaded with https:// rather than 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 Shared Website Hosting

We provide SSL certificates in addition to our shared website hosting packages, so if you'd like to secure the information your visitors upload, you will be able to get one directly from the Hepsia Control Panel. Employing our SSL wizard, you will be able to type in the company/personal details which you wish to be associated with the certificate and our system will generate the CSR plus a unique private key. You'll get a message from our vendor to verify your order and following that, the SSL certificate will be set up automatically if you have selected this feature in the wizard throughout your order. In this way, you will not have to do anything at all manually since our system will do the necessary and your brand new certificate will be active shortly after that. Needless to say, if you prefer to use some other SSL vendor, you can still use the CSR that you've generated from your account.
