2. Select your domain in the drop-down list
3. Click in menu "Server configuration" -> "Manage SSL certificate" then click on tab "Signing Request"
4. Fill-in your information as it should appear in the certificate (keep www. in front of domain for single-site certificates) then click button "Generate CSR Now"
5. Copy from the information the CSR.
6. Save for your own records in a safe place the private key. The private key is already saved on your domain safely, so you won't need it with the certificate.

You only need the CSR for the SSL request.
