A CSR is required when ordering or reissuing an SSL certificate. You can generate it using your control panel or command line.

Using cPanel:

  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. Navigate to Security > SSL/TLS > Certificate Signing Requests (CSR).
  3. Fill out the form with your domain and organizational details.
  4. Click Generate.
  5. Copy the CSR text to submit to your SSL provider.

Using OpenSSL (Command Line):

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout yourdomain.key -out yourdomain.csr

This command generates a private key (yourdomain.key) and CSR (yourdomain.csr).
