Shared SSL

Shared SSL Hosting

Shared SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificates is a certificated that all of our customers can use. The Shared SSL certificated is intended for those who wish to have a secure connection, to say an admin area or a simple checkout process, but don't wish to purchase a Private SSL. Normally, a Shared SSL is not the best choice for an e-commerce site, this is because most customers expect to see the domain name of the company in the URL address bar. Shared SSL will use our domain name (usually ezhostingserver.com or hostek.com) in place of your domain name.

As mentioned, Hostek.com offers a free Shared SSL certificate for you to use. Forms directed to the secure SSL server would have a specific URL such as https://secure.Hostek.com/your_domain/your-page.html.

NOTE: For our resellers, Hostek.com has a white label shared SSL for your customers to use.

Enabling Shared SSL

The shared SSL can be enabled via the control panel for our Windows and ColdFusion hosting customers.

Linux

For our cPanel customers, this is enabled by default. Just use your pre-propagation URL except with https:// instead of http://
