What do I need to activate SSL for my website?

IMPORTANT

Once SSL Support is enabled for your Web Hosting Order, you would be able to:

  • install a Digital Certificate on this website

    A Digital Certificate allows you to establish your credentials when doing business or other transactions on the Web.
     
  • use a Dedicated IP Address

    An IP Address dedicated to your website

Digital Certificate

A Digital Certificate is provided by a reputed third party provider (Certifying Authority, or CA). You need to:

  1. Generate a CSR, or a Certificate Signing Request from your Control Panel.
     
  2. Submit the CSR to the Certifying Authority (CA) from whom you wish to purchase the certificate.
     
  3. Get the certificate issued by your CA, and submit the same for your website from your Control Panel.

 

Dedicated IP Address

This is an IP Address specifically allocated for your website. This IP Address is not shared with other web hosting packages on a shared server, and is used only by your website. Dedicated IP Address is required to provide a separate dedicated channel for the encrypted data to flow between the client (browser) and the server.
