Before you can start performing secure transactions from your Web site, you must submit a certificate request to our Certification Authority partner, which will authenticate your/your business' identity and domain registration ownership before issuing a signed certificate.
To begin the certificate request procedure:
Log in to your DomainNameCom.com account - click here
Click the "Manage Secure Certificates" link on the Account Manager main page, or use the Secure Certificates dropdown link on the top navigation.
Click "Set up Certificate" or "Set up Wildcard Certificate."
Indicate whether the domain you are requesting the certificate for is hosted with DomainNameCom.com or with a third-party hosting provider. Note that if your domain is hosted with DomainNameCom.com, we will generate and submit your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to the certificate authority and install the signed certificate on your site once issued. If you are hosting elsewhere, you must perform those tasks yourself.
=======================================================
IF HOSTING WITH DomainNameCom.com:
=======================================================
Select the applicable hosting account from the drop-down list.
If you previously applied a Dedicated Hosting IP credit to the selected hosting account, a notice displays stating that the SSL Certificate includes a dedicated IP so your current Dedicated Hosting IP credit will cancel and you will no longer be billed for that credit. This will not change the IP address of your hosting account.
Click "Set up Secure Certificate." This will take you to the certificate-management Web site.
If you already have a certificate-management account, log in to it. If not, you must create one.
Follow the instructions on the site to submit your request.
=======================================================
IF HOSTING WITH THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER:
=======================================================
Click "Set up Secure Certificate." This will take you to the certificate-management Web site.
If you already have a certificate-management account, log in to it. If not, you must create one.
Follow the instructions on the site to submit your request.
If all necessary data is properly submitted, the CA is usually able to complete the authentication process and issue a signed certificate within 2-5 hours of the request.
