A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you want to obtain an SSL certificate which will encrypt the payment and account info that will be exchanged between your site and its customers. The CSR contains information about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address as well as e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, a registered SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to identify that they're a reliable issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all of the four codes - the two keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. Then, you'll be able to use a URL that begins with https:// for your website rather than http:// and the website visitors will be able to view the info that you've provided for the CSR through their web browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Hosting

In case you host a website in a hosting account ordered through our company and its visitors submit private info, you will be able to obtain an SSL certificate for it directly from your web hosting Control Panel and with no more than a few clicks. We have an easy-to-work-with order wizard, therefore you just need to select the domain/subdomain and type in the required information for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail message to approve your order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll be installed automatically by our system, so you will not have to deal with any codes or settings. If you intend to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only create a CSR from your Control Panel and then copy the code that you are required to submit for the SSL. You will find the private key generated together with the CSR in the very same section.

The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that is provided with our semi-dedicated server accounts has an integrated SSL certificate request generator, so in case you host a website that you want to secure, you can acquire a new SSL with a couple of clicks. You will just need to enter the details for your certificate when it's different from the one you have inside your account and our system will generate the Certificate Signing Request and the private key related to it.
