A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you would like to get an SSL certificate which will encrypt the payment and account info which are exchanged between your site and its clients. The CSR contains info about the website plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, a certified SSL vendor issues the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to recognize that they are a reliable issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. Then, you will be able to use a URL that begins with https:// for your website rather than http:// and your website visitors can view the information that you've provided for the CSR through their web browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Website Hosting

In case you host a website in a shared website hosting account acquired from our company and its visitors submit sensitive information, you can get an SSL certificate for it straight from your hosting Control Panel and with only a couple of clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, so you just have to select the domain/subdomain and enter the needed details for the Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email to approve the order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll be installed automatically by our system, so you won't have to deal with any codes or settings. If you want to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only create a CSR through your Control Panel then copy the code that you are required to submit for the SSL. You'll find the private key generated together with the CSR in the same section.
