Is CSR private key?

Especially for Domain Validated (DV) certificates, everything else in the CSR is thrown away. ... You will need to create a new CSR, as your current certificate has expired.

What does a private key look like?

A private key is a 256-bit number. This means that it is represented in binary in 256 numbers of 0 or 1. In total, this means there are a total of (almost) 2^256 combinations of private keys. This number can also be expressed as 10^77 for simplicity.

Where is SSL private key?

How do I get it? The Private Key is generated with your Certificate Signing Request (CSR). The CSR is submitted to the Certificate Authority right after you activate your Certificate.
