If you'd like to use an SSL Certificate on your site, in order to protect the payment and login data that users send, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the info related to the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, such as the exact web address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It needs to be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted data and based on it, gives the SSL certificate. The SSL installation requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique private key that's generated alongside the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. An Internet site that has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format through a web browser.

SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Hosting

In case you host a site in a cloud hosting account acquired from our company and its visitors upload private info, you will be able to obtain an SSL certificate for it straight from your web hosting Control Panel and with no more than a few clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, which means that you just have to choose the domain/subdomain and type in the mandatory info for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an email to approve your order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it will be set up automatically by our system, so you will not have to deal with any codes or settings. If you want to use the services of another Certificate Authority, you can only obtain a CSR through your Control Panel then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You will see the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
