Every web hosting Control Panel must establish a robust security environment for secure operation. In this article, we will discuss obtaining and installing a trusted វិញ្ញាបនបត្រ SSL ឥតគិតថ្លៃ in a SiteWorx account.
How to Setting Up an SSL Certificate in SiteWorx Account
For SSL installation, three essential elements are required:
- កូនសោឯកជន
- វិញ្ញាបនបត្រ SSL ឥតគិតថ្លៃ
- CA Bundle file
ចំពោះ កូនសោឯកជន (file with the ‘.key’ extension) must be always kept in a safe place – the best practice is generating it at the hosting server directly so that you don’t transmit it over the Internet and risking its exposure.
ចំពោះ វិញ្ញាបនប័ត្រ SSL (‘your_domain.crt’) and the CA Bundle (‘your_domain.ca-bundle’) files are provided by the trusted Certification Authorities like Sectigo (also known by its former brand Comodo), these files can be downloaded in your 1Byte account.
To obtain the SSL and the CA Bundle, you need to submit a specific Certificate Signing Request (CSR) code to your SSL vendor and then complete a certain validation procedure.
ចំណាំ: If you already have the Private Key, SSL Certificate, and the CA bundle provided from a third-party vendor, you will just need to upload and install them one-by-one at the SSL Files page. The “Certificate Signing Request (CSR)” option can be ignored, CSR is only used for SSL activation and it is not needed for SSL installation at the server.
ចំណាំ: The CSR code is always generated on the base of an existing Private Key.
We will go through each step one-by-one:

ចំណាំ: The default set value is 2048-bit – this is the modern standard for key length which meets all modern security requirements. If you wish, you can select higher length, but note that using bigger keys, mathematically, increases server resource consumption (although hardly noticeably). Considering that all the presented options are secure enough, having >2048-bit keys may be seen as an excessive security measure.

You will get the option to បង្កើត your own CSR (Certificate Signing Request) by filling out the required fields.
- 2 Letter Country Code – the two-letter code of the country where the company or the certificate applicant is located (e.g. US).
- រដ្ឋឬខេត្ត – the state, county or region the company or applicant is located in (e.g. California). This parameter should not be abbreviated.
- រាជធានី ខេត្ត – the city where the company or applicant is located (e.g. Los Angeles).
- ក្រុមហ៊ុន – the official name of the organization that applies for the certificate (e.g. 1Byte Inc.). For ដែន Validation SSLs, the information in this field is not critical (you can put NA there) and the details will not be listed on the issued certificate, however it should be filled in.
For Organization Validation and Extended Validation certificates, Certificate Authorities will be verifying the submitted organization. - Company Division – the name of the department or division within the organization (e.g. IT).
- ឈ្មោះទូទៅ – the primary domain of the certificate, the fully qualified domain name for which the SSL will be issued (e.g. example.com). If you have a wildcard SSL certificate, the domain must have the asterisk in front — it indicates the subdomain level to secure (e.g. *.example.com).
- ឈ្មោះជំនួសប្រធានបទ – additional domain names that should be included into the certificate. This value will be ignored when activating a single-domain or wildcard SSL, but can be included in case of a multi-domain SSL.
- អាស័យដ្ឋានអ៊ីម៉េល – an email address of the company or the applicant. This field is optional.

After generating, click View CSR and copy the code with —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST—– and ——END CERTIFICATE REQUEST—– tags included.
Next, go and activate your SSL certificate. You’ll be then prompted to complete the DCV process before you receive your trusted certificate. The issued certificate can be downloaded right inside your 1Byte account. Now, having your SSL certificate (.crt), CA Chain (.ca-bundle) and Private key files, you can proceed with the SSL installation as described below.
