A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you want to have an SSL certificate that will encode all of the payment and account info which will be exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the website as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address as well as e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, a licensed SSL vendor issues the certificate, which is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they're a dependable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all four codes - both the keys, the certificate along with the CSR. Then, you'll be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your website rather than http:// and your site visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their Internet browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you host a website in a cloud website hosting account obtained from our company and its customers send sensitive data, you will be able to obtain an SSL certificate for it directly from your website hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks. We have an easy-to-use order wizard, which means that you just have to choose the domain/subdomain and enter the needed info for the Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email 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 you intend to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only get a CSR through your Control Panel then copy the code that you are required to submit for the SSL. You will see the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
