damian5000 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sorry to post this in general, but hoping to get more feedback here. The security forum seems almost dead. I'll be opening a small shop, but very hesitant to do it with Prestashop because I've heard tons of issues with shared SSL and Prestashop... The strangest part - there are no clear answers/tutorials/solutions official or otherwise for those with issues. 1) Does Prestashop support shared SSL?? What is the step by step process for getting this set up properly if so?? 2) If I need dedicated, will a dedicated IP do the trick? or do I need a dedicated server/virtual server? Thanks much for insight on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Shared ssl in my opinion isn't worth even considering, certainly not for a "customer-facing" application. For a dedicated ssl certificate you'll need a unique IP address for your site which should be available from all credible shared hosting providers. There's no need for a dedicated/virtual server, just a unique IP to (uniquely) identify the site. The main thing that SSL brings to your store is credibility. For this reason I would strongly suggest you select a certificate from a well-known provider, as otherwise the benefit will be minimal, or could possibly even be counter-productive. Consider your customer's opinion of you if you have "This site is secured by CheapSSL" displayed Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yes, dedicated static address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
