A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you would like to obtain an SSL certificate which will encode all of the payment and login details which are exchanged between your site and its clients. The CSR contains information about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address as well as e-mail, company name and unit, and the like. Based upon this code, a licensed SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they're a trusted issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the set up of the SSL involves all of the four codes - both the keys, the certificate and the CSR. Next, you can use a URL that starts with https:// for your website rather than http:// and the website visitors can view the info that you have provided for the CSR through their web browsers.

SSL Certificate Generator in Web Hosting

If you host a site in a web hosting account ordered through our company and its customers upload sensitive information, you can acquire an SSL certificate for it straight from your web hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, so you just have to choose the domain/subdomain and type in the mandatory information for the Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail message to approve your order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it'll be installed automatically by our system, so you will not have to deal with any codes or settings. If you'd like to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only obtain a CSR using your Control Panel then copy the code that you need to submit for the SSL. You will find the private key generated together with the CSR in the same section.
