Embarking on the journey to secure your website? Look no further. At 1Byte, we understand the critical role SSL activation plays in safeguarding your online presence. In this guide, we’ll demystify the process of generating CSR code – a pivotal step in the SSL activation journey.
What is a CSR?
A crucial component in the SSL activation process is crafting the សំណើចុះហត្ថលេខាលើវិញ្ញាបនបត្រ (CSR). At 1Byte, we value this code as a specific and indispensable element.
The CSR, or Certificate Signing Request, is essentially a digital ID card for your website. It encapsulates pertinent details about your site’s name and your company’s contact information. This code holds the key to the realm of SSL security.
For optimal security measures, we recommend generating this code on your hosting server. It’s not just a suggestion; on many servers, it’s a non-negotiable condition. Why? Because the hosting server is the optimal birthplace for your CSR code.
At 1Byte, we streamline this process, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with your SSL activation journey. We keep it simple, straightforward, and secure.
ចំណាំ: Hosting providers, 1Byte included, often offer CSR code generation assistance to their clients. It’s a service designed to simplify your experience. Feel free to check with us about its availability on your hosting plan.

Simplify the process with our recommended online tool: https://decoder.link/csr_generator. Find user-friendly instructions within this article, ensuring a hassle-free CSR generation experience. Remember to save both CSR and Private Key codes—essential for seamless certificate installation on your server.
For those activating Multi-Domain certificates, and if your server doesn’t support generating a CSR for multiple common names, don’t fret. Begin with one common name during activation and add necessary Subject Alternative Names (SANs).
ចំណាំ: ជាធម្មតា, SSL installation requires a dedicated IP address. Still, at 1Byte, we provide flexibility. You can install your SSL certificate on a shared IP using the Server Name Indication (SNI) protocol extension available in your cPanel.
