How do I generate a Self-signed Certificate? IMPORTANTThe below mentioned process can be performed only after you have enabled SSL (Dedicated IP) Support for your website. Click here to read how to do so >> A self signed certificate does not have the signature of a noted Certificate Authority (CA); instead, it uses its own certificate request as a signature. While it may not provide the same effectiveness as a certificate provided by a trusted CA, this is much easier to procure, and you can use it until you get your actual certificate. Follow the process mentioned below to generate your own self signed certificate from the Control Panel: Login to the Web Hosting Management interface. Click here to read how >> Go to Manage Website -> SSL Manager. Here, click the Generate icon. Fill in the form for generating your details. From the drop-down the bottom of the form, select the option Generate CSR + Self Signed Certificate. Click Generate. This will generate the certificate for you. In order to view or backup the existing Certificate, click Download on the subsequent page. IMPORTANT In order to complete the action in case of Linux Hosting, the Web Server needs to be restarted. Random restarts affect other services running on the Server. In order to avoid this, the Server has been scheduled to restart at intervals of 20 minutes. Hence, the process might take upto 20 minutes for completion.
