In case you offer products and services on your site and you would like the payment data that users submit to be protected, you should use an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that encodes the info exchanged between a user and a web server, but to receive an SSL, you will need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded info that the SSL supplier will use to issue the certificate. The CSR contains your web address, Business name and Unit, mailing address and email of the business that will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority evaluates and authorizes the CSR before it supplies an SSL certificate which is signed electronically using its private key as an authority. To install an SSL, you will need a total of four batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is created once you generate the Request, the actual certificate and a special Certificate Authority code, that's unique for every single vendor.
SSL Certificate Generator in Cloud Hosting
In case you host a site in a cloud hosting account obtained from our company and its users submit private data, you will be able to 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-operate order wizard, therefore you only have to choose the domain/subdomain and type in the required information for your Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an email message to approve your order and soon after the SSL is issued, it'll be installed automatically by our system, so you won't have to deal with any codes or settings. If if you plan to use the services of some other Certificate Authority, you can only acquire a CSR using your Control Panel then copy the code that you have to submit for the SSL. You'll find the private key generated along with the CSR in the same section.
