In case you offer services and goods on your site and you would like the payment data that clients upload to be protected, you need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encrypts the data exchanged between a user and a server, but to obtain an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded data that the SSL service provider will use to create the certificate. The CSR features your website address, Business name and Unit, mailing address and e-mail of the organization which will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority evaluates and approves the CSR before it provides an SSL certificate that is signed digitally using its private key as an authority. To be able to set up an SSL, you need a total of 4 batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is made when you generate your Request, the actual certificate plus a specific Certificate Authority code, which is unique for every single vendor.
SSL Certificate Generator in Web Hosting
In case you host a website in a web hosting account ordered through our company and its users upload private data, you'll be able to obtain an SSL certificate for it directly from your website hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks. We have an easy-to-use order wizard, thus you just need to choose the domain/subdomain and enter the needed details for your Certificate Signing Request. You will 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 won't have to deal with any codes or settings. If you wish to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only acquire a CSR using your Control Panel and then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You'll find the private key generated together with the CSR in the same section.
