Step-by-step guide on CSR generation:  

1. Choose a CSR generator tool 
   There are many CSR generator tools available online like: https://csrgenerator.com/ 
   
   
2. Fill out the CSR information form:
   Once you've chosen a CSR generator tool, you'll be asked to fill out a form with information about your website, including:
   Country – the two-letter country code of your organisation
   State/province – the state or province where your organisation is located
   Locality – the city where your organisation is located
   Organisation – the legal name of your organisation
   Organisational unit – the department or division within your organisation responsible for the website
   Common name (CN) – the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your website (e.g. example.com)
   Key size – you are given option of 2048-bit or 4096-bit, we recommend the 4096 as this has a higher encryption level.
   Some CSR generators might also ask to provide additional information, such as your email address and the type of server software you're using. 
   
   
3. Generate the CSR
   Once you've filled out the form, click the "Generate CSR" or "Create CSR" button. The CSR generator tool will then create a text file containing the CSR and the private key for your website.
   
   
4. Ensure that you keep a copy of both the CSR and private key.
