      Note 1: We do not recommend sending the private key via email over an insecure channel.

      Note 2: By default, WHM will automatically generate the corresponding private key if "2,048 bits (Recommended)" is selected as the Key Size. If you already have a private key created that you wish to use, select the Key Size dropdown and select the appropriate option.

       

  17. Congratulations, you have created a CSR and automatically saved it in your user directory.

    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

    And

    -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
