A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed if you wish to get an SSL certificate that will encrypt all the payment and login information which will be exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address plus email, company name and unit, etcetera. Based on this code, a licensed SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to show that they are a dependable issuer. During 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 plus the CSR. Next, you'll be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your site instead of http:// and the website visitors will be able to view the info that you've provided for the CSR via their web browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Web Hosting

In case you host a site in a web hosting account acquired from our company and its visitors upload sensitive information, you will be able to get an SSL certificate for it directly from your web hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, which means that you just have to choose the domain/subdomain and type in the necessary info for your Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email to approve your order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll 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 acquire a CSR using your Control Panel and then copy the code that you are required to submit for the SSL. You shall find the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
