Generate a CSR (certificate signing request)
Note: If you're using an SSL certificate on the primary domain name of a GoDaddy shared hosting account, you do not need to generate a CSR; we take care of that for you.
How you generate a CSR depends on the type of certificate you're requesting and your operating system/control panel.
Type of Certificate | Follow these instructions |
---|---|
SSL Certificate | You can generate a CSR on your server before you request an SSL certificate, or we can generate the CSR for you using the SSL Request Wizard.. Click your server type for instructions:
For other server types, see "more info" below. |
Code/driver signing |
Our certificates are compatible with all types of web servers, even if we do not have CSR instructions for them. Please contact your server documentation for further information on generating a CSR if you do not find the instructions that you need above.
