Thread: SSL Certificates and Multiple Domains

I have a couple of questions. First does VH offer free ssl shared certificates?

How do private SSL certificates work with multiple domains on one account? Do I need a separate account for each domain that I want a SSL certificate for?

You should look at the specifics of SSL options here at VodaHost: http://www.vodahost.com/ssl.htm

Since each SSL cert requires a Dedicated IP, you can choose to establish this account "new" with just your commerce site (as I have chosen for my cart-driven sites, thereby also managing band), or as currently configured (meaning all domain sites will also be "shared"-secure).

For the appropriate solution, I suggest you Submit a Support Ticket to recieve the individual attention any moving of domains might require.

Nancy,
To further what Vasili said,
No, there are not free shared certificates . However, depending on what shopping cart you use, you may be able to use their shared certificate.

But, I would go ahead with a question to support for the exacts for multiple accounts.

Nancy,

Private SSLs from low to mid range run from around 100 a year to 200 a year, including the dedicated ip for each. Theres a wild card ssl thats around 650 a year.. not counting dedicated ip, so its actually cheaper to get an account for each store, unless you are going to run 6 to 8 stores on the wild card.

You can do authorize.net with SIM that you are already familiar with or you can build one cart to host multiple stores products for the check out/cart process and build in whatever to LINK up to the cart as one possibility.. or Beth's Cart Manager is a good option for a SHARED SSL as well.

1) No we do not offer free shared ssl, this is very unprofessional and your customers will not like it. I would avoid free shared ssl's

2) You need to purchase a new ssl for each account. You can not have more tahn one ssl per account.

Just a note...Wild card ssls allow you to have and to use the same ssl on unlimited and multiple sub-domains only...Not on multiple accounts.

Ty.. I thought that was HOW it worked, but.. I wasnt sure, because I dont ever intend to try to keep up with 8 stores..lol.. I cant keep up with what I got.

Karen

I'm getting close. Maybe that's why I'm losing it.

Nope, I just remembered - can't lose what I no longer have!

Did I ever have it?

OK, enough said by me <slapping myself>
