When ordering an SSL certificate, you're often required to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is an encoded block of text that the Certificate Authority requires when issuing an SSL certificate. The CSR contains details about the organisation, domain name, and location.

Recommended Method: Use an online CSR generator tool. The resource recommends visiting https://csrgenerator.com/ for this purpose.

Important Consideration: When using a CSR generator, you must retain both the CSR and the Private Key that the tool provides — both are essential for the SSL certificate process.
