If you wish to use an SSL Certificate on your site, so as to protect the payment and login information which users send, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the information about the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, such as the exact website address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It should be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted data and depending on it, gives the SSL certificate. The actual SSL installation requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that's generated along with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website which has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format from an Internet browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Hosting
If you host a site in a cloud hosting account ordered from our company and its visitors upload private data, you'll be able to get an SSL certificate for it straight through your web hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks. We have an easy-to-use order wizard, so you only have to choose the domain/subdomain and type in the required details for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail to approve the order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll be set up automatically by our system, so you will not have to deal with any codes or settings. If you wish to use the services of another Certificate Authority, you can only get a CSR through your Control Panel then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You will see the private key generated together with the CSR in the very same section.
