In case you would like to use an SSL Certificate for your site, so as to protect the payment and login info that users send, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the info about the entity which will use the SSL in an encoded form, for example the exact web address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It needs to be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted information and based on it, gives the SSL certificate. The SSL installation requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a special private key which is generated alongside the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website 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 via an Internet browser.

SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you launch an e-store and you have some login form and your site is hosted in a semi-dedicated server account on our cloud website hosting platform, you might want to use an SSL certificate. As we offer SSLs together with our web hosting services, you are able to acquire a new certificate via the same Hepsia Control Panel where you control your site content. All that you will have to do is to enter the required information - personal and business. As we have an auto-installer, our system will generate the Certificate Signing Request along with the Private Key, then keep track of the SSL status with our vendor and set up everything for you. The sole action required by you will be to approve the certificate order by electronic mail. In case you already have another vendor, you can only obtain a CSR and then submit it to them, so that they can give you an SSL that you will be able to install inside your account here.
