What is shared SSL, and how do I use it?

This allows you to secure part of your website using a generic URL such as https://vault1.website-ssl.com/domain-com/ (Windows hosting) or https://centos1.website-ssl.com/~username/ (Linux hosting)

 

Windows Hosting

The actual URL for your domain will be displayed on the Shared SSL page in Helm.

The SSL certificate is provided by us therefore you do not need to purchase anything else.

When you enable shared SSL on a domain, a "Shared SSL" folder is created at root level. This is where you place the pages you wish to secure. They can then be access by referencing, for example,  https://vault1.website-ssl.com/domain-com/mysecuredpage.htm

Linux Hosting

The shared SSL for Linux hosting can accessed via https://centos1.website-ssl.com/~username where "username" is your Cpanel username. You do not need to move files you wish to secure to any special folder - just reference them with the URL shown above.

 

We can install your own SSL like https://www.your-domain.com however there is a cost. Contact sales for pricing.
