A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required in case you would like to have an SSL certificate which will encode all the payment and account details which are exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains info about the website as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address as well as email, company name and unit, etc. Based on this code, an accredited SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key to recognize that they are a trusted issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate plus the CSR. Next, you will be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your site rather than http:// and your website visitors can view the information that you have provided for the CSR via their web browsers.

We have an easy-to-use order wizard, therefore you just have to select the domain/subdomain and enter the necessary data for your Certificate Signing Request. You'll receive an email message to approve the order and shortly after the SSL is issued, it will 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 generate a CSR from your Control Panel then copy the code that you need to submit for the SSL. You'll find the private key generated together with the CSR in the same section.
