Dedicated SSL Certificate

[russell37uk]

Hello all,

Sorry if i posted in the wrong section.

I have been looking at the dedicated SSL certificates available here as I will need one shortly so i can add google checkout to one of my sites hosted here with Webhosting UK.

My first question (which is probably simple) is, when i was reviewing the certificates i noticed that a "CSR" something or other need to be generated first - what is this please?

Next Do/Can you install the certificate on my domain for me?

Also I have tried setting up the google checkout in my magento install, but it still does not show up as a payment method during the checkout process, is this simply because i do not have a SSL yet, or am i missing something out ? (In magento i have only entered the google keys and set to 'live')

Many thanks for your replies.

Hello Russell,

Here are the answers to the SSL queries raised by you:

* My first question (which is probably simple) is, when i was reviewing the certificates i noticed that a "CSR" something or other need to be generated first - what is this please?
- Before you order for SSL Certificate, you must first generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) on your server. The SSL/TLS option in cpanel is to generate CSR and key for private SSL.

* Next Do/Can you install the certificate on my domain for me?
- Yes, we can install SSL for your domain but you will have to first purchase SSL for the same.

* Also I have tried setting up the google checkout in my magento install, but it still does not show up as a payment method during the checkout process, is this simply because i do not have a SSL yet, or am i missing something out ? (In magento i have only entered the google keys and set to 'live')
- You will have to check the magento official forum to integrate these payment gateway settings.
If you need secure URL for this, you can use shared SSL, use "https://ServerHostName/~YourCpaneUserName/" in secure URL settings.
If your site has private SSL installed then simply use https://yourdomain.com/.

Hope you find these details useful.
