A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed in case you would like to obtain an SSL certificate which will encode the payment and account information that will be exchanged between your site and its customers. The CSR contains info about the site plus its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address along with email, company name and unit, and the like. Based on this code, a registered SSL vendor gives you the certificate, which is digitally signed with the vendor's private key in order to identify that they are a reliable issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. Then, you can use a URL starting with https:// for your website rather than http:// and your website visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR via their Internet browsers.
SSL Certificate Generator in Web Hosting
If you host a website in a web hosting account acquired from our company and its visitors send private data, you'll be able to get an SSL certificate for it directly from your web hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks. We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, therefore you just need to choose the domain/subdomain and enter the required info for the Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an e-mail message to approve your order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it will 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 acquire a CSR from your Control Panel and then copy the code that you need to submit for the SSL. You will see the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
