If you'd like to use an SSL Certificate on your website, to protect the payment and login data that users submit, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the information related to the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, for example the exact website address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It needs to be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted info and based on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL installation requires four different bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that is generated alongside the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. An Internet site that has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format through a web browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Web Hosting
We provide SSL certificates along with our cloud web hosting plans, so if you wish to protect the information your visitors submit, you will be able to get one from the Hepsia Control Panel. Using our SSL wizard, you're able to type in the company/personal details that you wish to be associated with the certificate and our system will create the CSR along with a special private key. You will receive an e-mail from our supplier to verify the order and next, the SSL certificate will be installed automatically if you have selected this function in the wizard during your order. This way, you won't have to do anything manually because our system will do the required and your unique certificate will be active soon after that. Of course, if you wish to use a different SSL vendor, you can still use the CSR that you have generated using your account.
SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with our semi-dedicated server accounts has a built-in SSL certificate request generator, so if you host a website that you wish to secure, you can order a new SSL with several clicks. You will just need to enter the info for your certificate if it's different from the one you have in the account and our system will install the Certificate Signing Request plus the private key associated with it. If you decide to buy the SSL through us, you just need to choose the auto-configuration option throughout your order and our system will do the necessary, so you will not have to install the certificate manually. If you prefer to acquire the SSL from a different company, you only need to save the CSR code. Subsequently you'll need to install your certificate, but if you haven't done this before or you have any kind of problems, you can get in touch with us and we'll install the SSL within a matter of minutes.
