If you offer services and goods on your site and you'd like the payment information that customers send to be protected, you'll need an SSL certificate. Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that encodes the info exchanged between a user and a web server, but in order to acquire an SSL, you'll need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is Base64 encoded data that the SSL vendor will use to issue the certificate. The CSR includes your web address, Business name and Unit, postal address and e-mail of the business which will use the certificate. The Certificate Authority studies and authorizes the CSR before it supplies an SSL certificate which is signed in an electronic format with its private key as an authority. To be able to install an SSL, you'll need a total of 4 batches of code - the CSR, a Private Key that is made when you generate the Request, the actual certificate along with a special Certificate Authority code, that is unique for every single vendor.

We provide SSL certificates in addition to our cloud hosting plans, so if you would like to give protection to the data your visitors send, you can acquire one directly from the Hepsia Control Panel. Using our SSL wizard, you're able to enter the company/personal details which you would like to be associated with the certificate and our system will generate the CSR plus a unique private key. You will get an e-mail from our supplier in order to confirm your order and after that, the SSL certificate will be installed automatically if you have selected this feature in the wizard throughout your order. This way, you will not need to do anything at all manually as our system will do the necessary and your unique certificate will be active quickly after that. Needless to say, if you wish to use another SSL service provider, you can still use the CSR that you've generated using your account.
