involved in getting my own SSL Certificate Home : Customer Support Center : Personal SSL Certificate |
Step 1. You need your own
legitimate domain web space (a subdirectory on geocities won't do)
Step 2. You need a real address. (A box number in Las Vegas and
a hotmail address is not good enough)
Step 3. You need some proof of being legitmate and not just some crook who occasionally visits a cyber cafe. To proove the legitimacy of your business you need these documents:
For a Home Based Business:
- You need a copy of a verifyable business license that has your street address on it. If your company is not a sole proprietorship you also need a copy of your incorporation papers.
- A letter from the president or owner of your business authorizing that the business gets a Secure Certificate, and that we can make reasonable checks to verify that the business is legitimate. This ensures that nobody else gets a certificate with your good name to use for their unauthorized purposes.
- A phone number where you can be reached.
- Copy of a verifyable business license that has the street address of your business on it.
- A copy of your incorporation and or partnership papers.
- A letter from the president or owner of your business authorizing that the business gets a Secure Certificate, and that we can make reasonable checks to verify that the business is legitimate.

Step 4. Send us a ticket
so we can generate your CSR.

to the place you are buying your SSL certificate from.
It takes a few days to complete all the checks. The procedure is very
thorough to ensure that only real and legitimate businesses get the secure
certificate.
Step 7. After you have obtained
your SSL certificate, submit a support ticket and we will install it for
you.
