In the Digital Certificate Order Form page select “ Other” from the Select Web Server drop down menu.

Once purchased (I’m assuming you also purchased from NameCheap) log into your NeamCheap control panel and click on “ Issue” next to your newly purchased SSL cert. If you haven’t already purchased your SSL, go ahead and do so. This will download a file called archive.zip which will contain two files: server.csr and server.key – SAVE these files! Once the form has been completely filled out click on “ Next“. I simply created a forward on my webhosting control panel to forward all email from admin(at) to my main email address then removed the forward. As will be shown soon, I noticed when I was going to confirm my email address I couldn’t use any email address from the domain via NameCheap as they used pre-selected email addresses.

Common Name: Enter your domain name (in my case I’m using a subdomain so I enter.

Private Key Length: 2048 (as suggested per the NameCheap SSL).

Now fill out your request form with your information:.

Select “ Create certificate signing request (CSR)” and click “ Next“.

Log into your Synology and navigate to Control Panel > Security > Certificate and click on “ Create Certificate“.

Note: I’ll be using a Synology DS412+ running DSM 5.0u1. I also purchased the SSL certificate from NameCheap (Comodo PositiveSSL) for just $9.00 a year.

Finally you’ll want to make sure Port Forwarding has been configured on your router.įor me I’ll be using a subdomain attached to my domain name for example:.

With those two setup, you will also want to add a CNAME DNS forward from your domain (or subdomain if you wish to go that route) to your DDNS service.

In this case and for my use, I simply use the Synology DDNS service they offer for free. Note: Bluehost also makes it easy to Start your own blog!
