After you purchase an SSL certificate, and the credit is available in your account, you may need to generate a certificate signing request (CSR) for the website’s domain name (or common name) before you can request the SSL certificate.
Note: If you’re using an SSL certificate on the primary domain name of a HostRooster shared hosting account, you do not need to generate a CSR; we take care of that for you.
How you generate a CSR depends on the type of certificate you’re requesting and your operating system/control panel.
| Type of Certificate | Follow these instructions |
|---|---|
| SSL Certificate | You can generate a CSR on your server before you request an SSL certificate, or we can generate the CSR for you using the SSL Request Wizard. Click your server type for instructions:cPanelApacheNginxExchange Server 2016Microsoft IIS 10Cisco ASA 5500 VPN/FirewallGoogle App EngineFor other server types, see “more info” below. |
| Code/driver signing | JavaWindows |
Our certificates are compatible with all types of web servers, even if we do not have CSR instructions for them. Please contact your server documentation for further information on generating a CSR if you do not find the instructions that you need above.
