If you offer goods and services on your site and you would like the payment information that people send to be protected, you will need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encrypts the data exchanged between a user and a web server, but to receive an SSL, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded information that the SSL supplier will use to issue the certificate. The CSR features the website address, Business name and Unit, postal address and email of the business which will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority reviews and approves the CSR before it issues an SSL certificate that is signed in an electronic format with its private key as an authority. To be able to install an SSL, you need a total of 4 batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is created once you generate the Request, the actual certificate along with a specific Certificate Authority code, that is unique for every single vendor.
SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Website Hosting
In case you host a site in a cloud website hosting account purchased from our company and its users submit private info, you will be able to obtain an SSL certificate for it straight from your website hosting Control Panel and with no more than a few clicks. We have an easy-to-use order wizard, which means that you only have to choose the domain/subdomain and type in the needed data for your Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email message to approve the order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it will be installed automatically by our system, so you will not need to deal with any codes or settings. If you wish to use the services of another Certificate Authority, you can only get a CSR from your Control Panel then copy the code that you are required to submit for the SSL. You will see the private key generated together with the CSR in the same section.
SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you launch an e-store and / or you have some login form and your website is hosted in a semi-dedicated server account on our cloud hosting platform, you might want to use an SSL certificate. Since we offer SSLs in addition to our hosting services, you can obtain your new certificate from the very same Hepsia Control Panel where you control your site content. All you will have to do is to enter the required info - business and personal. Since we have an auto-installer, our system will create the Certificate Signing Request plus the Private Key, after that keep track of the SSL status with our vendor and set up everything for you.
