In case you wish to use an SSL Certificate for your site, in order to protect the payment and login info which users send, you will 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, for instance the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It needs to be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted data and based on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL installation requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key which is 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 information submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Hosting
If you host a site in a shared hosting account ordered through our company and its visitors upload private info, you'll be able to acquire an SSL certificate for it directly from your web hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks. We have an easy-to-work-with order wizard, thus you just need to select the domain/subdomain and enter the needed info for your Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email 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 would like to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only create a CSR through your Control Panel and then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You will see the private key generated along with the CSR in the same section.
