scoot_eruk Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I am setting up Prestasop and although my hosting comes with shared SSL, it just doesnt work so I hve decided to get dedicated SSL.However my ISP has informed me the that I can either book https://xyz.comor https://www.xyz.com(assuming xyz.com is my domain name)I am not sure which option to go for so would be grateful if someone who has done this before could drop a line.Also I am told by the ISP that there will not be dedicated / separte ssl folder. my site for both http and https will be served from same folder (public_html)Is that ok? Thanks and advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspringer Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I could be totally off base and am seriously no expert, however, if your running a shop online and customers will be typing in WWW, it's just as well to have it, why bother taking a chance that something will screw up with redirection. Really a non-issue for me.Shared SSL means that your store will run using two domains your master domain name and shared secure domain which may be used by other customers of your hosting company.Dedicated SSL means that you will have your own SSL certificate which enable you to run your store on one domain using http and https.e.g. Shared SSL: Master Domain: http://www.example.com Shared Secure Domain: https://secureexample.com/usernameDedicated SSL:Master Domain: http://www.example.comSecure Domain: https://www.example.comMost people prefer to use dedicated SSL as it looks more professional and can improve customer confidenceIf I'm reading this right and many times I'm not, it doesn't sound like you have a dedicated SSL.I "hope" this heps.

Guest Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 FYI, a SSL cert require a dedicated IP and as you host said https://www.yourdom.com and https://yourdom.com will point to the same dedicated IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
