How SmartHost Makes It Easy: Secure Your Website in Minutes

SmartHost simplifies the creation of SSL certificates, ensuring your website is protected quickly and easily, even if you don’t host with us. Here’s how our tool works:

1. Enter Your Domain

Begin by entering the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the website you want to secure. For example, if your website is www.smarthostdemo.ie, enter that exact address.

2. Generate a CSR

The tool will generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request). This file contains information about your domain, organisation, and public key. It’s a crucial step in verifying your identity and requesting your SSL certificate. You do not need ot take any action, as this is done in the background.

3. Verify Your Domain

You’ll need to verify that you own the domain you entered. Our tool provides simple instructions for doing this. Either add a DNS record or upload a file to your website, depending on your most convenient method – we provide both methods by default.

4. Certificate Type

SmartHost’s free SSL generator creates standard DV (Domain Validation) certificates, the most common type for personal websites and small businesses. If you need an OV/EV certificate (for higher levels of validation), we offer those as well, but they come with a fee, and can be ordered separately.

5. Download Your Certificate

Once verified, you’ll receive your SSL certificate files, including the certificate itself and a private key. Keep these files secure, as they’re essential for encrypting your website’s traffic.

6. Install and Configure

The final step is to install the certificate and private key on your web server. The exact process depends on your server software (cPanel, Plesk, etc.). Our knowledge base provides detailed instructions, and if you have any issues, our support team is ready to help.

Better SEO: Search engines like Google favor websites with SSL certificates, giving them a higher ranking in search results.
Data Integrity: SSL certificates ensure that the information transmitted between your website and users remains intact and unaltered during transit. This protects against data tampering and ensures that users receive accurate information.
