So... your website runs on your own hardware? It's not hosted? If so then I'm pretty sure LetsEncrypt is what you want for the cert, unless you have very complicated requirements. Read up on it on the LetsEncrypt site. > I not sure why they wanted to replace the valid certificate they had > provided earlier with one generated without my CSR.

I don't understand what they are on about, and doubly not if the domain actually leads to a working website. It could just be a misunderstanding, but if they are not showing interest in helping you then you need to move on anyway. Your best bet is find a new domain registrar (VentraIP would still be my recommendation, but I am sure there are many fine alternatives) and transfer the domain to them. Then you can get a new certificate, install it on your website and forget the old lot. Ideally you would revoke the old certificate; Google "how to revoke an ssl certificate" plus the name of whomever got you the cert. Otherwise all you need is the domain password.
