If you would like to use an SSL Certificate on your site, so as to protect the payment and login data that users submit, 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 site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It needs to be sent to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted details and depending on it, gives the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a special private key which is generated along with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website which has an SSL installed can be loaded with https:// instead of 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 Website Hosting

In case you host a site in a Linux shared website hosting package with our company and you would like to obtain an SSL certificate for it, you will be able to do that with only a couple of clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. Using our user-friendly SSL order wizard, you'll be able to enter and review the contact info that you wish to be used for your certificate and then select the auto-configuration option that we have developed in order to make things even easier - once you accept the SSL request by clicking on the link that you'll receive via e-mail after you send your order, our system will install everything for you, so you will not need to do anything manually at any moment. If you would like to acquire a certificate elsewhere, you're able to employ our CSR generation tool and upload the Request code to an alternative vendor. A private key connected to the CSR will also be created and available in the very same section of your account.
