In case you offer products and services on your website and you'd like the payment details that customers send to be protected, you need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol which encrypts the info exchanged between a user and a server, but to get an SSL, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded data that the SSL vendor will use to issue the certificate. The CSR consists of the website address, Business name and Unit, postal address and e-mail of the entity that will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority evaluates and authorizes the CSR before it provides an SSL certificate that is signed in an electronic format with its private key as an authority. To be able to set up an SSL, you'll need an overall of 4 batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is created after you generate your Request, the actual certificate and a special Certificate Authority code, which is unique for each and every 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 visitors send private info, you'll be able to get an SSL certificate for it directly from your web hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, so you only have to choose the domain/subdomain and enter the required information for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an email message to approve your order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it'll be installed automatically by our system, so you will not have to deal with any codes or settings. If you want to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only acquire a CSR through your Control Panel then copy the code that you are required to submit for the SSL. You will find the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
