Security Certificates - 2

[rolygate]

I found a solution to the security certificate problem. It involved endless research, countless emails, hours online and huge expense (well, about £12 a year). The answer: a new IP. The original problem: everybody on the server is on the same IP, which is the standard arrangement in web hosting.

But, if you get yourself a unique IP, then you can have your own SSL certificate - problem solved. Actually, you then have to pay $XX per year for a certificate if you want one, but I haven’t mentioned that to Lord Price yet (or the honorary accountant, which is probably of more import). So: front up a very small amount of dosh for a new IP, and maybe a bit more for a certificate, and it’s problem solved.

The shared/unique IP question is quite interesting, so I might do a bit more on that next time round.
