Find out just what an SSL Certificate Generator is and what role it has.
In case you wish to use an SSL Certificate for your site, in order to protect the payment and login information which users send, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request, also known as CSR. The Request contains all the info about the entity that will use the SSL in an encoded form, for example the exact web address for the website, the Business/Organization name, physical and e-mail address. It should be submitted to a service provider, or Certificate Authority, which reviews the submitted details and based on it, gives the SSL certificate. The SSL installation requires 4 bits of code - the certificate, the CSR, a specific private key that is generated together with the CSR and the SSL vendor private key. A site that has an SSL installed can be accessed with https:// instead of the usual http:// and the information submitted for the CSR can be viewed in standard text format via a web browser.
Since SSL certificates are some of the services that we provide along with our cloud website hosting packages, you'll be able to get an SSL for any site hosted in an account on our end with several clicks. Furthermore, we have an auto-installer tool, so as soon as you approve the order via e-mail, our system will set everything up on your behalf and it'll install the certificate, the CSR as well as the 2 private keys. Shortly after that, you will be able to load your website with https:// and any details submitted on it will be protected, so no unauthorized people will be able to intercept it. In case you have picked a different SSL service provider, you can only generate a Certificate Signing Request in your account on our end together with the unique private key, then save the CSR code and submit it to the other vendor.
If you develop an electronic store and / or you have some login form and your website is hosted in a semi-dedicated server account on our cloud platform, you may wish to use an SSL certificate. Because we provide SSLs along with our website hosting services, you will be able to obtain a new certificate from the same Hepsia Control Panel where you manage your website content. All you'll have to do is to type in the required information - business and personal. As we have an auto-installer, our system will create the Certificate Signing Request and the Private Key, then keep track of the SSL status with our vendor and set up everything for you. The sole action required by you will be to confirm the certificate order by email. In case you already have another service provider, you can just obtain a CSR and then send it to them, so that they can issue an SSL which you can set up inside your account here.
