How can I generate CSR from my end?

If you are a customer of shared or reseller hosting, please drop us a mail at [email protected]. You can also contact us through phone or live chat and we will generate the CSR for you.

3.    From the center menu, double-click the "Server Certificates" button in the "Security" section (it is near the bottom of the menu).

 

4.    Next, from the "Actions" menu (on the right), click on "Create Certificate Request."This will open the Request Certificate wizard.

 
5.    In the "Distinguished Name Properties" window, enter the information as follows:

Common Name - The name through which the certificate will be accessed (usually the fully-qualified domain name, e.g., www.domain.com or mail.domain.com).

Organization - The legally registered name of your organization/company.

Organizational unit - The name of your department within the organization (frequently this entry will be listed as "IT," "Web Security," or is simply left blank).

State/province - The state in which your organization is located.

6.    Click Next.

Cryptographic service provider - In the drop-down list, select Microsoft RSA SChannel..., unless you have a specific cryptographic provider.

Bit length - In the drop-down list, select 2048 (or higher).

 
8.    Enter a filename for your CSR file.

Remember the filename that you choose and the location to which you save it. You will need to open this file as a text file and copy the entire body of it (including the Begin and End Certificate Request tags) into the online order process when prompted.
