If you offer products and services on your website and you would like the payment data that users upload to be secure, you will need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encodes the information exchanged between a user and a server, but in order to get an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded information that the SSL vendor will use to create the certificate. The CSR contains the website address, Business name and Unit, postal address and email of the business that will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority reviews and approves the CSR before it issues an SSL certificate that is signed electronically with its private key as an authority. To install an SSL, you will need a total of 4 batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is created when you generate your Request, the actual certificate along with a special Certificate Authority code, that is unique for each vendor.
SSL Certificate Generator in Hosting
In case you host a website in a hosting account ordered from our company and its visitors upload sensitive data, you will be able to get an SSL certificate for it directly from your hosting Control Panel and with just 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 data for the Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an e-mail message to approve your order and soon after the SSL is issued, it will be set up automatically by our system, so you won't have to deal with any codes or settings. If if you plan to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only get a CSR using your Control Panel and 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.
