If you offer products and services on your site and you would like the payment info that customers submit to be secure, you should use an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that encodes the info exchanged between a user and a server, but in order to get an SSL, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded info that the SSL service provider will use to issue the certificate. The CSR consists of the web address, Business name and Unit, postal address and e-mail of the business which will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority reviews and approves the CSR before it gives an SSL certificate that is signed electronically with its private key as an authority. To be able to install an SSL, you'll need an overall of 4 batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is made after you generate the Request, the actual certificate along with a special Certificate Authority code, that is unique for each vendor.
SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Hosting
In case you host a site in a cloud hosting account obtained from our company and its customers upload sensitive info, you'll be able to obtain an SSL certificate for it straight from your hosting Control Panel and with no more than a couple of clicks. We have an easy-to-work-with order wizard, so you just need to select the domain/subdomain and type in the mandatory details for your Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an e-mail message to approve the order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it will be set up automatically by our system, so you won't need to deal with any codes or settings. If you would like to use the services of another 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 see the private key generated along with the CSR in the very same section.
