Question categories:  SSL

Can i add a secure server to my current plan (Business Class Unix)?

An SSL certificate contains the following information:

  • The domain name for which the certificate was issued
  • The owner of the certificate and the domain name.
  • The physical location of the owner.
  • The validity dates of the certificate

When you connect to a secure web server to visit a secure web site, the server authenticates itself to the web browser by presenting a digital certificate. The certificate is proof that an independent trusted third party has verified that the website belongs to the company it claims to belong to. A valid certificate gives customers confidence that they are sending personal information securely, and to the right place.

It is impossible to add your own SSL certificate to a Business Class Unix plan because this requires an IP address and Business Class Unix plans share the IP address of the server.

One option is to use the shared SSL certificate by accessing your site with: https://yourhostingserver.com/yourusername.
The other option is to upgrade your plan to some IP based hosting plan such as Pro and eCommerce Unix. To do so please call our Customer Care Department at 1-888-301-2516 (toll free) or 1-858-410-6900 (for international callers).
