A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you wish to obtain an SSL certificate that will encode all of the payment and login info that will be exchanged between your site and its customers. The CSR contains information about the site as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address and email, company name and unit, and the like. Based on this code, a registered SSL vendor issues the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they're a trusted issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all of the four codes - the two keys, the certificate and the CSR. After that, you can use a URL starting with https:// for your site instead of http:// and your site visitors will be able to view the info that you have provided for the CSR using their web browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Web Hosting

If you host a site in a shared web hosting account obtained from our company and its customers submit private info, you can acquire an SSL certificate for it directly from your website hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of clicks. We have an easy-to-work-with order wizard, so you just need to choose the domain/subdomain and enter the mandatory details for the Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email to approve your order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll be set up automatically by our system, so you won't need to deal with any codes or settings. If you intend to use the services of another Certificate Authority, you can only get a CSR from your Control Panel and then copy the code that you need to submit for the SSL. You will find the private key generated along with the CSR in the same section.

SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel which comes with our semi-dedicated server accounts has a built-in SSL certificate request generator, so in case you host a website that you want to secure, you are able to acquire a new SSL with several clicks. You will just have to enter the info for the certificate if it is not the same as the one you have in your account and our system will create the Certificate Signing Request and the private key related to it. If you decide to obtain the SSL from our company, you just have to select the auto-configuration option during your order and our system will do the needed, so you won't have to set up the certificate manually. In case you prefer to get the SSL from another company, you only have to save the CSR code. Subsequently you will need to install your certificate, yet if you have never done this before or you have any kind of issues, you will be able to get in touch with us and we will set up the SSL in a few minutes.
