How to setup an https server using Dathorn Hosting?

[hevnsnt]

I would like to use ssl to secure a certain directory on my website, currently using dathorn for hosting..

Anyone know how to do it?

I have closed my dathorn web hosting account.

There are two kinds of SSL:

shared - ugly but free. https://servername.dathorn.com/~hevnsnt/

real - you pay for an SSL cert and it shows https://www.ihacked.com/
and ask dathorn to install it for you

i just set up an SSL site, you need root access in order to do it.

Don't forget you need a static IP as well

For an SSL certificate, I would recommend buying from CompleteSSL.com

[RossMAN]

I don't have a need for an SSL certificate, yet.

Looks nice, we also use CubeCart on my wife's coupons web site.

Who are you going to use as a cc processor?

i've been using linkpointcentral for a long time. but i think i'm gonna change to one that is easier to set up (in other words one that doesnt' require much set up).

If you aren't planning on selling anything, and don't need a random company vouching for you, a self signed cert is free.

I thought about starting a cert company. It's practically free money.

How much does linkpointcentral charge?

Is there a minimum monthly fee (statement and gateway fees)?

true, it's kind of like setting up a RAS server. i was thinking about setting up a RAS server and sell Authenex USB Keys for domain authentication.

kind of cool stuff tho. 🙂

to be honest, i don't even know. i wasn't very careful when i got signed up with these guys. i don't do a lot of credit card processing, unfortunately it's for pretty big amounts when i do.

i'm gonna call them about getting better rates or i will leave them. 🙂
