A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you would like to obtain an SSL certificate that will encode the payment and login info which will be exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus e-mail, company name and unit, and the like. Based on this code, a certified SSL vendor issues the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to show that they are a trusted issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. Next, you'll be able to use a URL that begins with https:// for your site instead of http:// and the site visitors can view the info that you've provided for the CSR through their Internet browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Hosting

If you host a site in a hosting account obtained through our company and its visitors send sensitive info, you can obtain an SSL certificate for it directly through your website hosting Control Panel and with only a couple of clicks. We have an easy-to-use order wizard, thus you only need to select the domain/subdomain and enter the needed info for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail to approve the order and soon after the SSL is issued, it will be set up automatically by our system, so you will not need to deal with any codes or settings. If you wish to use the services of another Certificate Authority, you can only create a CSR from your Control Panel then copy the code that you are required to submit for the SSL. You'll see the private key generated together with the CSR in the very same section.

SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel that is provided with our semi-dedicated server accounts has an inbuilt SSL certificate request generator, so if you host a website that you would like to secure, you're able to get a new SSL with a few clicks. You'll have to enter the information for the certificate when it's not the same as the one you have in your account and our system will set up the Certificate Signing Request and the private key related to it. If you decide to buy the SSL from us, you only need to select the auto-configuration option throughout the order and our system will do the needed, so you will not have to set up the certificate manually.
