In case you intend to use an SSL Certificate for your website, so as to protect the payment and login data which users send, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The Request contains all the info about the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for example the exact web address for the site, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It should be sent to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted info and depending on it, gives the SSL certificate. The actual SSL set up requires four bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique private key that is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website which has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR will be viewed in standard text format through an Internet browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Hosting
If you host a website in a cloud hosting account ordered from our company and its visitors submit sensitive info, you'll be able to acquire an SSL certificate for it directly through your hosting Control Panel and with no more than a few clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, so you only have to select the domain/subdomain and type in the required info for the Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email message to approve your order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll be set up automatically by our system, so you will not need to deal with any codes or settings. If you wish to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only get a CSR through your Control Panel then copy the code that you need to submit for the SSL. You'll see the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
