- Enter the following information for the CSR code that will be submitted to the Certificate Authority. Please use only alphanumeric characters when filling in the details.
Domains:
- Enter the fully qualified domain name on which the SSL will be activated (common name). The common name for all Wildcard certificates should be represented with an asterisk in front of the domain (*.example.com). To create your CSR code for multiple domains, enter each domain in a new line.

State:

Company Division:
- Provide the name of a division or department within the organization indicated above. For Domain Validation certificates, you can enter “NA”.
E-mail:

- Click on the Generate button.
- The next page will show the newly generated CSR code. You can now use the Encoded Certificate Signing Request to activate the certificate purchased with Namecheap or any other certificate provider. Please include -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- and -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- when submitting the CSR code for SSL activation.
