Generate a CSR Code on H-Sphere

CSR stands for Certificate Signing Request, a block on encoded text containing your contact information. Generating your CSR is a requirement when applying for your SSL Certificate. The CA (Certificate Authority) uses the CSR code to verify and authenticate your website’s and company’s identity.

You have two options:

1. Use our CSR Generator to create the CSR automatically.
2. Follow our step-by-step tutorial on how to generate CSR on H-Sphere.

You will use the CSR when ordering your SSL Certificate, and the private key when installing it on your H-Sphere platform.

Install an SSL Certificate on H-Sphere

After your CA sends the necessary SSL files to your inbox, download them to your desktop or the server where your CSR and private keys reside.

1. Log into your H-Sphere control panel and go to SSL and, under the SSL field, click Edit.
2. Next to Install Certificate based on previously generated Certificate request, paste the content of your primary SSL Certificate. Make sure you include the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE tags.
3. Now, in the Certificate Chain File box, paste the content of your intermediate certificate file. Some versions of H-Sphere label this box Certificate Authority File.
4. Click Upload.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed your SSL Certificate on H-Sphere.
