A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required if you wish to have an SSL certificate which will encode all of the payment and account details that are exchanged between your site and its clients. The CSR contains info about the website and its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address and email, company name and unit, and the like. Based upon this code, a registered SSL vendor issues the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to show that they are a reliable issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate and the CSR. Next, you'll be able to use a URL that begins with https:// for your website instead of http:// and the site visitors can view the info that you've provided for the CSR via their web browsers.
SSL Certificate Generator in Hosting
As SSL certificates are some of the services that we provide together with our hosting plans, you can get an SSL for any site hosted in an account here with a couple of clicks. Furthermore, we have an auto-installer instrument, so after you approve your order using electronic mail, our system will set everything up on your behalf and it'll install your certificate, the CSR plus the 2 private keys. Shortly after that, you'll be able to visit your site with https:// and any data submitted on it will be encrypted, therefore no unauthorized people will be able to intercept it. When you've picked some other SSL vendor, you can only generate a Certificate Signing Request within your account on our end together with the unique private key, then save the CSR code and submit it to the other service provider.
