Here is an idea of what they want:

All documentation that is requested must match *exactly*. Secure certificate authorities will verify that your organization actually exists, so they know they are issuing to the correct company. You will need to prove that the Organization Name and the Domain name are in fact yours to use.

Steps you’ll be taking:

Gather required documentation

Have your host generate a CSR

Complete certificate authority online application

Certificate authority will process your request

Pickup and install your SSL certificate (usually an URL is emailed to you to download the secure server certificate)

Depending on the vendor, it can take a few hours to a few days.

Send secure certificate to host for installation. (Send in plain text)

Once your web hosting provider receives this information; they will generate the CSR and send it back to you in plain text. You then send it on to Verisign or Thawte, or whoever you have chosen as your secure certificate authority. They will then generate a SSL certificate for you which you will send back to your host for installation. Your web host may charge a fee for installation in addition to what your SSL certificate vendor charges.

Something to think about:

If you’ve decided to purchase your own SSL certificate, you will need to decide how you want your URL to be called.
