In case you intend to use an SSL Certificate on your site, so as to protect the payment and login data which users post, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the information for the entity that will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for example the exact website address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It should be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the provided information and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. An Internet site which 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 an Internet browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Web Hosting
We provide SSL certificates along with our shared web hosting packages, so if you would like to provide protection to the data your visitors submit, you can get one right from the Hepsia Control Panel. Using our SSL wizard, you will be able to enter the company/personal details which you'd like to be associated with the certificate and our system will generate the CSR plus a specific private key. You'll receive an email message from our supplier to confirm the order and after that, the SSL certificate will be installed automatically if you have selected this function in the wizard during your order. This way, you will not need to do anything manually as our system will do the required and your new certificate will be active quickly after that. Of course, if you prefer to use a different SSL vendor, you can still use the CSR that you've generated through your account.
