If you'd like to use an SSL Certificate on your website, in order to protect the payment and login information which users post, you will need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the info about the entity which will use the SSL in an encrypted form, for example the exact website address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and email address. It should be sent to a vendor, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the posted info and depending on it, issues the SSL certificate. The actual SSL installation requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a unique private key which is generated alongside the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A website that has an SSL installed can be opened with https:// rather than the usual http:// and the info submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format through an Internet browser.
SSL Certificate Generator in Shared Hosting
In case you host a site in a shared hosting plan from our company and you want to acquire an SSL certificate for it, you're able to do that with only a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. With our intuitive SSL order wizard, you can enter and review the contact information that you wish to be used for the certificate and then choose the auto-configuration function that we have developed in order to make things easier - once you accept the SSL request by clicking on the link that you will receive via email after you submit the order, our system will set up everything on your behalf, so you won't need to do anything manually at any time. If you'd like to acquire your certificate somewhere else, you'll be able to use our CSR generation tool and upload the Request code to the other service provider. A private key connected with the CSR will also be generated and available in the very same section of your account.
SSL Certificate Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is provided with our semi-dedicated server accounts has an inbuilt SSL certificate request generator, so if you host a site that you want to secure, you are able to acquire a new SSL with a few clicks. You'll need to enter the information for the certificate in case it is different from the one you have inside the account and our system will set up the Certificate Signing Request plus the private key associated with it. If you decide to obtain the SSL through our company, you just need to choose the auto-configuration option throughout the order and our system will do the needed, so you will not need to install the certificate manually.
