SSL, Shared Certificates and multiple servers

[janetgot]

Hello, I'm fairly new to setting up SSL, and am not sure what the best path to go is.

 

My client's host provider has their secure servers on a separate box than their non secure web servers. The tech support person doesn't think that OSCommerce will work with a shared certificate unless it's all on one box. Is this true?

 

If so, would it be better to purchase a dedicated certificate, or move to another host that will allow shared certificates? I'm not sure what (besides cost) the disadvantage to a dedicated certificate might be.

Thanks!

Janet

It's definitely better to purchase a full ssl cert rather than use any shared cert - no matter where it is located - and at around $49 a year plus dedicated ip address it's not going to break the bank.
