Guides and explainers about hosting, websites and how to promote them. We write about what clients ask support: how to choose hosting, what to do with WordPress, why a site is not being indexed.
A Certificate Signing Request goes to the certificate authority; the private key stays under your control. Create a CSR in a hosting panel, with OpenSSL or online, then check the names and key match.
A service website, a WordPress store, and a custom application put different demands on hosting. Three practical examples show how to choose a hosting type, estimate storage and resources, check support responsibilities, test a suitable option, and compare the full cost before paying.
Your website and mail client can receive different certificates even under the same domain. Check each hostname and port, inspect the chain and identify which service needs a certificate fix.
