A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is needed in case you would like to obtain an SSL certificate which will encode all of the payment and account information that are exchanged between your website and its visitors. The CSR contains info about the site as well as its owner in Base64-encoded form - website address, physical address and email, company name and unit, and the like. Based upon this code, a certified SSL vendor gives you the certificate, that's digitally signed with the vendor's private key so as to identify that they are a dependable issuer. During the CSR generation, a unique private key is also generated and the installation of the SSL involves all of the 4 codes - both the keys, the certificate as well as the CSR. After that, you'll be able to use a URL starting with https:// for your site rather than http:// and the website visitors will be able to view the information that you have provided for the CSR via their web browsers.
