If you would like to use an SSL Certificate for your site, in order to protect the payment and login data which users submit, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the info related to the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, for instance the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It should be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted info and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The SSL set up requires four 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 website which has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format via a web browser.

SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Hosting

If you host a website in a shared hosting account purchased from our company and its customers upload private information, you'll be able to acquire an SSL certificate for it directly from your web hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of clicks. We have an easy-to-work-with order wizard, so you just have to choose the domain/subdomain and type in the needed 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 will be installed automatically by our system, so you will not need to deal with any codes or settings. If you want to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only get a CSR from your Control Panel then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You shall find the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
