If you intend to use an SSL Certificate on your website, to protect the payment and login data that users submit, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information about the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for example the exact website address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It should be sent to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the provided data and based on it, gives the SSL certificate. The SSL installation requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a special private key that is generated along with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A site which has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.

SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Hosting

If you host a site in a Linux cloud hosting package with us and you wish to acquire an SSL certificate for it, you are able to do that with only a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. With our user-friendly SSL order wizard, you will be able to enter and update the contact info that you want to be used for the certificate and then choose the auto-configuration feature that we've developed to make things easier - once you approve the SSL request by hitting the link that you will receive via electronic mail after you send the order, our system will set up everything on your behalf, so you will not be required to do anything manually at any moment. If you wish to obtain a certificate somewhere else, you will be able to take advantage of our CSR generation instrument and submit the Request code to another vendor. A private key linked to the CSR will also be created and available in the same section of your account.
