Step 1: Ordering an SSL Certificate
- Log in to your account and select the SSL service from the “Order” menu.
- Choose the desired SSL certificate and proceed with the purchase.
- Enter your domain details and complete the payment process.
Step 2: Verification Process
SSL certificate verification ensures that the applicant truly owns the domain. This process is conducted through various methods:
- Email Verification – A verification email is sent to a registered domain-associated address.
- DNS Verification – A specific TXT record is added to the domain’s DNS settings.
- HTTP Verification – A unique file is uploaded to the server for verification.
Once the verification is successful, the SSL certificate is issued.
Step 3: Generating a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
CSR is a file required for SSL certificate issuance. It contains encryption keys and business details. Follow these steps:
- Go to the CSR Generation page and enter the required domain and business details.
- Generate and submit the CSR file to the SSL provider.
- Keep the Private Key safe, as it is critical for encryption security.
Step 4: Certificate Installation
Once the verification is complete, the SSL provider will issue the certificate (.crt or .pem file). To install:
- Download the SSL certificate from your service panel.
- Upload the certificate to your hosting panel.
- Activate HTTPS to secure your website.
By following these steps, you can successfully obtain and install an SSL certificate to enhance the security of your website.
