Hi,

I want to totally secure my data exchange that is taking place on my site.

Regards,

You need to have a SSL certificate associated with your website. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer protocol) is a standard for transmitting confidential data such as credit card numbers over the Internet. Most true business sites support this feature which allows more security in data transmitted over the web. SSL uses a private key to encrypt data that is transferred over the SSL connection.

You need to make sure, that you get dedicated IP, as the SSL requires dedicated IP, as name-based hosting does not support data encryption in HTTP requests.

The H-Sphere control panel allows you to use certificate you already have or create a temporary certificate and then acquire a permanent certificate from a trusted authority. You can use Shared SSL certificate instead of purchasing a certificate of your own.

If it is allowed in your plan, you can also buy and install a permanent Comodo Certificate directly from your CP.

Later you can renew permanent certificates.

Hi,

If You already have a SSL certificate you can also use that, to enable SSL certificate you have to :-first of all Select Domain info in the Domain Settings menu and
then Click the Edit icon in the Web Service field.
Enable SSL for the domain in the list.
From One the page that appears, you need to choose the Import SSL certificate option in the SSL Support section.
Then you need to enter the SSL Server Private Key and SSL Certificate in the boxes that appear.
In the Site Name field, you need to choose whether you want to secure with or without the www prefix. In this, Only one option will work correctly. For instance, if you choose to secure http://www.domain.com, your visitors will get security warnings when they go to http://domain.com.
And in the final, Click on the Submit. and your site is secured.

Temporary certificates are generated from the control panel, not by the trusted authorities, so when visitors enter site, they get the “unknown certification authority” warning window. You can generate a private key and temporary certificate, for that the following steps can be taken:
1. First of all, Select Domain info in the Domain Settings menu.
2. Then you need to Click the Edit icon in the Web Service field.
3. Enable SSL for the domain in the list.
4. In the SSL Support section you need to click on the Import SSL certificate.
5. Now, On the page that shows click Generate a temporary SSL certificate and certificate request.
6. On the page that appears, You need to apply your details by clicking Submit. These data will be used to generate the certificate.
7. You need to follow the instructions that appear at the top of the next page.

* SSL Certificate Signing request includes the details that you submitted on the previous step. Use this request if

you want to get a permanent SSL certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority, such as Comodo CA, Thawte or VeriSign (see

below).
* SSL Server Private Key is the secret key to decrypt messages from your visitors. It must be stored in a secure

place where it is inaccessible to others. Don’t lose this key, you will need it if you get a permanent certificate.
* Temporary SSL Certificate validates your identity and confirms the public key to assure the visitors that they

are communicating with your server, not any other party.
8. In the last step, you need to Click on the Submit Query.

If you want to associate a permanent SSL certificate with your website, for that you need to generate a temporary SSL certificate, then you need to copy the certificate signing request (CSR) and private key which you need to send to the times@cpwebhosting.net, with a request for a permanent SSL certificate. After the permanent SSL Certificate has been generated, save it to a secure location. Select Domain info in the Domain Settings menu. Go to the Web Service page and click the Edit icon in the SSL field. Enter the certificate into the upper box of the form that opens (“Install Certificate based on previously generated Certificate request”). Enter your certificate and then click on the install. You can now use the certificate jointly with the private key you have saved.

Shared SSL requires that your site runs on a shared IP. If in your plan, you are being offered a Shared SSL certificate, you can use it instead of purchasing a certificate of your own. Unlike a regular SSL certificate, it costs less, doesn’t require a dedicated IP, and belongs to an equally trusted Certificate Authority. The disadvantage of shared SSL is that it can be used only with third level domains.

To secure your site with Shared SSL, do the following:

1. Select Domain info in the Domain Settings menu.
2. Click the Edit icon in the Web Service field.
3. Enable Shared SSL for the domain in the list.
4. Agree to charges, if any.
5. If you are using a second level domain (example.com), you will be asked to create a third level domain alias (e.g. domainalias.example.com):

Hi,

You can renew your Permanent certificate by providing the certificate signing request (CSR) that you saved when acquiring the old certificate by mail to times@cpwebhosting.net. After the permanent SSL Certificate has been generated, save it to a secure location. Select Domain info in the Domain Settings menu. Then, Go to the Web Service page and click the Edit icon next to the SSL Support. You need to enter the corresponding certificate into the box of the form that opens and then click on the Upload. Now you can use the certificate jointly with the private key you have saved.

Hi,

My private key on the server is not matching with the certificate. Can anyone plz, tell, what I need to do ?

Regards,

Hi,

This is probably because private key or CSR (certificate submission request) was re-generated after you ordered certificate. Take CSR and get replacement certificate (InstantSSL has free re-issuance). For any kind of problems cpwebhosting is providing 24 x7 support.

Hi,

But, I have heard that, each SharePoint user added by customer who enabled SharePoint on his domain will require a Windows license and the same relates to FTP sub-accounts also.

Hi,

Don’t worry about this,
Windows FTP subaccount and MS SharePoint user were made child resources of Windows System account parent resource to decrease number of licenses and this way to minimize windows hosting expenditures. SharePoint access and FTP subaccount for the same user will be obtained with only one Windows license.
