SSL FAQs
What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is like a digital security pass. It is a small data file that locks the connection between your visitor’s browser and your website.
Once active, it turns on HTTPS and shows the padlock icon in the address bar, a clear sign that your site is safe for browsing, online shopping, or sharing sensitive personal information.
How can I get an SSL certificate?
Wondering how to secure your website? Buy your SSL certificate directly from Truehost. Once you select a plan, our team guides you through setup, and your site gets HTTPS protection in just minutes.
For Truehost hosting customers, installation is free, we take care of everything behind the scenes.
What does SSL stand for?
The term SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It’s the backbone of online security, ensuring that any information exchanged between your site and its users cannot be read or stolen by outsiders.
What happens if you don’t have an SSL certificate?
Running a website without SSL means every browser labels it “Not Secure.” That single warning can send your visitors away, lower your search rankings, and leave your site open to hacks or phishing attempts.
And once trust is gone, recovery is hard. Customers simply won’t risk buying or signing up on an unsecured site.
How long do I have to wait for my certificate to be issued?
For most websites, SSL certificates are issued instantly or within just a few minutes, especially if you’re choosing a Domain Validated (DV) SSL.
For advanced options like Organization Validated (OV) or Extended Validation (EV) SSLs, expect a short wait of 1-5 business days because extra identity checks are required.
How do I install an SSL certificate?
With Truehost hosting, installation is included at no cost. For other providers, we’ll walk you through the process until your site is secure.
Most setups involve:
- Uploading SSL certificate files to the server.
- Configuring your web server (Apache or Nginx).
- Forcing HTTPS through
.htaccessor hosting dashboard.
And yes, our support team is ready to assist anytime you need.
What is a CSR?
A CSR, or Certificate Signing Request, is a special text file your web server creates before you can get an SSL certificate.
It contains important information such as:
- The domain name you want to secure.
- Your business or organization name (OV/EV SSLs).
- Location details like city and country.
- A public key that encrypts data.
This is sent to the Certificate Authority (CA), which then issues your SSL certificate.
Tip: If you host with Truehost, our team can generate the CSR for you, quick, simple, and stress-free.
How do I create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)?
The easiest way to generate a CSR is through your hosting control panel (like cPanel or Plesk).
Steps to generate one:
- Sign in to your hosting account.
- Find the SSL/TLS settings section.
- Click on “Generate CSR.”
- Enter your domain and organization info.
- Copy and paste the CSR for your SSL request.
Prefer not to bother? If you’re hosting with Truehost, we’ll happily generate the CSR for you.
