A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed when you would like to acquire an SSL certificate that will encode all of the payment and login information that will be exchanged between your website and its clients. The CSR contains info about the site and its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address and e-mail, company name and unit, etcetera. Based upon this code, an accredited SSL vendor provides you with the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key to show that they are a reliable issuer. At the time of the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all 4 codes - the two keys, the certificate and the CSR. Next, you'll be able to use a URL that starts with https:// for your website instead of http:// and the site visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR using their web browsers.

With our SSL wizard, you will be able to enter the company/personal details that you'd like to be associated with the certificate and our system will create the CSR along with a specific private key. You'll receive a message from our vendor in order to verify your order and after that, the SSL certificate will be set up automatically if you have selected this feature in the wizard throughout your order. In this way, you will not have to do anything manually since our system will do the necessary and your unique certificate will be active soon after that. Of course, in case you wish to use another SSL service provider, you can still use the CSR that you've generated through your account.
