SSL Certificate
| Posted by NelaHosting, 02-12-2012, 01:02 PM |
| I think i have successfully installed a SSL certificate for the hostname on my server to use cPanel/WHM.
How ever my question is i want to use SSL for WHMCS which is located on the server as http://nelahosting.com/clients
if i go to https://nelahosting.com/clients its not working.
My question is do i need a separate SSL certificate for the domain itself? the certificate purchased for cPanel/WHM was purchase for the hostname ouachita.nelahosting.com
Thanks

| You either need to get a wildcard or another SSL.

| 1 SSL PER domain unless you get a wildcard SSL.
this.domain.com - #1 SSL
thisone.domain.com - #2 SSL
thisonetoo.domain.com - #3 SSL
etc.

| So if I purchase one for whmcs it should point to domain.com/whmcs or just domain.com?

| You will just need to set it up with the domain 'domain.com'.
Then any folder under this will work with https like
domain.com/whmcs
domain.com/anotherfolder
...etc

| If you get a cert for www.domain.com most providers will include domain.com as well. Worth asking as not all do this.

| I do believe (though please confirm) that the GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium lets you secure 1 domain + 3 subdomains like
domain.com
shop.domain.com
secure.domain.com
www.domain.com
This might be an option if Wildcard SSL are beyond your budget for what you need.

| You are incorrect, ONLY wildcard SSLs will cover more than one domain. When it comes to an SSL, a subdomain for all intensive purposes is considered a whole new domain name.

| I am just going by a number of websites that say this, for example
http://www.clickssl.com/ssl-certific...ickssl-premium

| Indeed, that is interesting. I have never seen them advertise that anywhere else, even on their own site, odd.

| Getting an SSL certificate for www.domain.com will also cover domain.com (without www).
