Thread: What is SSL?

My last thread about subdomain issues was closed for some reason. I am none the wiser as I do not have a clue what SSL is. My question why I cannot publish to a subdomain when there is SSL on my main domain ( whatever that means) is still unanswered. I have removed the redirect from the main domain and published a new subdomain (for testing only), but I am getting the same message:

Great Success !
Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server

If you can see this page, then the people who manage this server have installed cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) which use the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content.
ATTENTION!

Thanks, but what does that have to do with a subdomain?

... and if this does seem not apply (or if you do not know if it does or not), then based on the information in your post ...
