How do I set up a shared SSL for my Web Hosting package?


This article describes how to set up a shared SSL for one of your domains in a web hosting package. It may also be possible to set up a dedicated SSL certificate for your domain instead. For more help, please reference What is the difference between a Dedicated SSL and a Shared SSL certificate?

If you have a dedicated server package and need help with SSL certificates, please reference the SSL section of the dedicated server FAQs.
