SSL installation - required details

[Aussie Bob]

The following information is required in order for us to create a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) for all SSL certificate installs - The CSR and "key" file (Key=Password file) for your SSL cert will then be emailed to you, in order for you to complete the purchase of your SSL certificate.

Be sure to select "Apache + MOD SSL" when ordering your certificate.

You will need to have a Unique IP address assigned to the particular domain name, in order to install an SSL certificate. Dedicated IPs cost $5/mth/IP. Please read here for dedicated IP information.

You need to purchase an SSL certificate from an SSL provider.

The following information is required in order for us to create your CSR

(Please submit all of this information to our helpdesk.)

(1). Email address to send the cert to.

Should be your email address. (Not Displayed in cert information)

(2). Host to make certificate for.

This should be in the format as follows:-

secure.domain.com
domain.com
anything.domain.com

Notes -

The subdomain that you use for your cert does not have to be created by you prior to the installation of the SSL cert, you should use a sub domain that does not currently exist - The Document root for your cert will then be the same as your existing website :-

ie: /home/user/public_html

This enables your existing pages to be viewed via SSL as :-

Examples
https://secure.domain.com or
https://www.domain.com or
https://anything.domain.com

(Note: You need to choose one of the above, each separate subdomain will need a different IP and SSL cert, it's best to choose one subdomain for all secure transactions)

(3). Company Name. (As per installed domain)

(4). City. (As per installed domain)

(5). State. (As per installed domain)

(6). Country. (As per installed domain, 2 letter abbreviation)

(7). Company Division. (eg. Sales division, security division)

(8). Company Email address. (As per installed domain)

(9). Password. (Choose an alphanumeric challenge password for the cert. This password can contain no special characters like $ %^&. It must be alphanumeric.)

(10). Do you need an IP address assigned to this domain? (See above.)

What Happens Now?

(11). When we have created the CSR for you, you will receive the "Key" file for your cert via the email address included within step 1.
