If you would like to use an SSL Certificate on your website, so as to protect the payment and login info that users upload, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the info for the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, such as the exact website address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It needs to be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted information and depending on it, gives the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a special private key that's generated along with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. An Internet site which has an SSL installed can be opened with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Hosting
We provide SSL certificates together with our hosting plans, so if you'd like to secure the data your visitors upload, you're able to acquire one from the Hepsia Control Panel. With our SSL wizard, you can type in the company/personal details that you would like to be associated with the certificate and our system will create the CSR plus a unique private key. You will get an e-mail message from our vendor to confirm your order and next, the SSL certificate will be set up automatically if you have selected this attribute in the wizard during your order. This way, you will not need to do anything manually as our system will do the required and your new certificate will be active soon after that. Needless to say, should you wish to use a different SSL service provider, you can still use the CSR that you have created using your account.
