A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed when you wish to obtain an SSL certificate which will encode the payment and account information that are exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address as well as e-mail, company name and unit, and the like. Based upon this code, a certified SSL vendor issues the certificate, that is digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they are a trusted issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the installation of the SSL involves all 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate and the CSR. Then, you will be able to use a URL that starts with https:// for your site instead of http:// and the site visitors will be able to view the info that you have provided for the CSR through their Internet browsers.
SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Website Hosting
If you host a website in a Linux cloud website hosting from our company and you would like to acquire an SSL certificate for it, you're able to do that with only a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. Using our intuitive SSL order wizard, you'll be able to enter and update the contact info that you wish to be used for your certificate and then pick the auto-configuration attribute that we have released in order to make things a lot less difficult - once you approve the SSL request by hitting the link that you'll receive via e-mail after you submit the order, our system will install everything for you, so you won't be required to do anything manually at any time. If you would like to receive your certificate elsewhere, you are able to employ our CSR generation tool and upload the Request code to an alternative service provider. A private key connected to the CSR will also be generated and available in the very same section of your account.
