How to use shared SSL
« on: May 13, 2011, 09:04:48 PM »
I'm on the Ultra hosting plan which says a shared SSL certificate is included for free.

How do I enable the shared SSL certificate for my web site?

If you are subscribed to our Ultra or Unlimited hosting plan on a cPanel server, the shared SSL will automatically be enabled.

In order to use the Shared SSL, please contact our support team to retrieve the Shared SSL URL for your account:

When you order a Shared SSL for your account, you are using the SSL certificate we have installed on your server. The SSL certificate is registered under the name of the web server and is shared by the clients on the server.

Because this is a shared certificate, URL for your pages secured on the shared SSL certificate will use a special URL under the server name.

Example: https://servername.doteasy.com/~yourID

While the shared SSL offers encryption capability at a fraction of the price of purchasing a dedicated SSL, the https:// URL might not appear as professional for e-commerce shopping carts.

With dedicated SSL, the URL is determined by you. You can have your private secure URL as https://secure.yourname.com/ or https://yourdomain.com.

Dedicated SSL gives your site a more professional appearance in their address bar when someone is in the secure area. Using Dedicated SSL certificate projects a better image to your clients. You can place a private SSL secured seal on your site and build the trust of it.

Dedicated SSL is the way to go in my opinion. I feel if you are going to take the effort to setup a great shopping cart, there is no reason to *potentially* lose customers because they get scared off by you not have a dedicated cert.
