A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is required if you would like to acquire an SSL certificate that will encode the payment and account details that are exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains information about the site as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - web address, physical address and e-mail, company name and unit, and the like. Based on this code, an authorized SSL vendor issues the certificate, which is digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to identify that they're a dependable issuer. Throughout the CSR generation, a unique private key is also created and the set up of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate and the CSR. Then, you can use a URL starting with https:// for your website rather than http:// and the site visitors will be able to view the info that you've provided for the CSR through their web browsers.

We have an easy-to-operate order wizard, thus you only have to select the domain/subdomain and enter the mandatory details for your Certificate Signing Request. You will receive an e-mail message to approve your order and shortly 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.
