If you offer products and services on your website and you'd like the payment information that clients send to be secure, you will need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that encrypts the data exchanged between a user and a server, but to receive an SSL, you'll 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, postal address and e-mail of the organization that will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority reviews and authorizes the CSR before it issues an SSL certificate that is signed electronically with its private key as an authority. To set up an SSL, you need an overall of four batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is made once you generate the Request, the actual certificate plus a special Certificate Authority code, that's 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 users upload sensitive data, you can get an SSL certificate for it directly through your website hosting Control Panel and with no more than a few clicks. We have an easy-to-use order wizard, so you just need to select the domain/subdomain and enter the needed info for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an email message to approve the 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'd like to use the services of another Certificate Authority, you can only get a CSR through your Control Panel then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You shall find the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
