If you'd like to use an SSL Certificate on your site, so as to protect the payment and login info which users submit, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the information about the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for instance the exact website address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It has to be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted info and based on it, gives the SSL certificate. The actual SSL installation requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a special private key which is generated alongside the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A site which has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format through an Internet browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Hosting
If you host a site in a Linux cloud hosting from us and you'd like to acquire an SSL certificate for it, you will be able to do that with only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. Using our user-friendly SSL order wizard, you can enter and view the contact information that you want to be used for the certificate and then choose the auto-configuration option that we've released in order to make things even easier - once you accept the SSL request by clicking on the link that you'll receive via email after you submit your order, our system will set up everything on your behalf, so you will not need to do anything manually at any moment. If you'd like to acquire your certificate somewhere else, you can take advantage of our CSR generation instrument and submit the Request code to the other vendor. A private key linked to the CSR will also be created and available in the same section of your account.
