What is the path to the free shared SSL? 

The path to free shared SSL is: https://67.18.21.228/~usernamehere/

How do I use the path to my shared SSL? 

Upload files as you typically would. To visit those pages using SSL security go to: https://67.18.21.228/~usernamehere/filename

Why does the free shared SSL have popup warnings? 

The popup message occurs because the shared SSL certificate is not made specifically for your domain. Since the domain name does not match the certificate address a popup message occurs. To prevent the warning message purchase a private SSL certificate from us or elsewhere. We sell them for $85 a year and they can be purchased at Order SSL Form.

What is the difference between Shared SSL and Private SSL? 

A Shared SSL displays as https//ip/~myUsername/ in the address bar. A Private SSL would display https://www.mydomain.com in the address bar.

How do I purchase a Private SSL from you and what type is it? 

We sell Comodo 128 bit SSL certificates for $85 a year and they include free installation. To purchase a Private SSL go to our SSL Order form.

Can you tell me a little about Comodo SSL? 

Comodo SSL is trusted by over 99.3% of browsers (equal to Verisign and Thawte). The only difference between SSL certificates is the browser recognition. Rest assured the Comodo SSL certificates are among the highest in browser recognition in the industry.

Do you have the Comodo SSL seal I can place on my website? 

I purchase my own Private SSL, how do I get it installed? 

Our servers use Apache Mod SSL. If you purchased a Private SSL elsewhere there will be a $35.00 installation fee. We will need both the key and the csr. You will also need to purchase a Dedicated IP address from us in order to run the SSL.

How do I transfer my SSL Certificate? 

Each SSL certificate provider has a different transfer procedure. You will need to ask your provider for information about transferring.

I have purchased and installed my SSL, now how do I use it? 

Once the SSL is purchased and installed, upload your files and pages as you normally would. To access your SSL certificate using the following address: https://www.mydomain.com

Why do I get a popup warning saying the page contains secure and nonsecure items? 

The pages you are visiting contain links to images, stylesheets or javascript files that are linked to http instead of https. For example, modify the page images from http://www.mydomain.com/myimage.jpg to https://www.mydomain.com/myimage.jpg
