A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you would like to obtain an SSL certificate which will encode the payment and login details which will be exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains info about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address as well as e-mail, company name and unit, etc. Based upon this code, an accredited 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. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate along with the CSR. Then, you'll be able to use a URL that begins with https:// for your site instead of http:// and the website visitors can view the info that you've provided for the CSR using their web browsers.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Hosting
If you host a site in a shared hosting with us and you need to obtain an SSL certificate for it, you can do that with only a few clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. With our intuitive SSL order wizard, you will be able to enter and update the contact info that you'd like to be used for your certificate and after that choose the auto-configuration option that we have introduced so that we can make things a lot less difficult - when you accept the SSL request by clicking on the link that you will receive through electronic mail after you post the order, our system will set up everything for you, so you will not have to do anything manually at any time. If you wish to obtain your certificate somewhere else, you can take advantage of our CSR generation instrument and send the Request code to the other service provider. A private key linked to the CSR will also be generated and available in the same section of your account.
SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Hepsia 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 will be able to acquire a new SSL with a couple of clicks. You'll need to enter the information for the certificate when it is not the same as the one you have in the account and our system will generate the Certificate Signing Request as well as the private key associated with it. If you decide to acquire the SSL from us, you only need to pick the auto-configuration option during the order and our system will do the needed, so you won't need to install the certificate manually. In case you plan to acquire the SSL from some other company, you just need to save the CSR code. After that you will have to install the certificate, but if you haven't done this before or you experience any issues, you can get in touch with us and we'll install the SSL in a few minutes.
