Purchasing an SSL Certificate from NameCheap.com for AuctionWorx Hosted with RainWorx

NameCheap.com is one of many SSL Vendors that you can purchase an SSL Certificate from. Below are instructions on the whole process from asking RainWorx for a CSR to sending RainWorx the SSL Certificate file for installation.

CSR — CSR stands for Certificate Signing Request. It is a block of text that lets the Certificate Authority verify the server that the domain will be hosted from. The CSR needs to be generated by the hosting company and needs to be given to the SSL Vendor to produce the SSL Certificate Files.
