In case you wish to use an SSL Certificate on your site, to protect the payment and login information which users post, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information related to the entity which will use the SSL in an encoded form, for instance the exact website address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It has to be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted info and based on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a special private key that is generated along with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website which has an SSL installed can be loaded with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Web Hosting
In case you host a website in a shared web hosting from us and you want to acquire an SSL certificate for it, you can do that with just a few clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Using our user-friendly SSL order wizard, you will be able to enter and update the contact info that you would like to be used for your certificate and then select the auto-configuration attribute that we have released so that we can make things a lot less difficult - once you approve the SSL request by clicking on the link that you'll receive via email after you send your order, our system will install everything for you, so you won't need to do anything manually at any moment. If you want to acquire your certificate somewhere else, you'll be able to take advantage of our CSR generation instrument and send the Request code to the other vendor. A private key connected with the CSR will also be generated and available in the same section of your account.
SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that comes with our semi-dedicated server accounts has an integrated SSL certificate request generator, so if you host a website that you want to secure, you'll be able to obtain a new SSL with several clicks. You will just have to type in the details for the certificate when it's different from the one you already have in the account and our system will install the Certificate Signing Request as well as the private key related to it. If you decide to purchase the SSL through our company, you only have to pick the auto-configuration option during your order and our system will do the needed, so you won't need to install the certificate manually. If you plan to get the SSL from a different company, you only need to save the CSR code. Then you will have to set up the certificate, but if you've never done this before or you experience any difficulties, you'll be able to contact us and we will set up the SSL within a few minutes.
