Looking for a web host, done the search and read several threads, looks like i missed out on that 1and1 deal ahh well...

Anyways, the most critical aspect is that whoever i host with has an easy and cheap configuration for enabling SSL on my website (allready have a certificate i can use)

Anyone got any suggestions? size and bandwidth isnt too big of an issue.

I've heard tera-byte.com is good, just curious if there is anything else better that I could use.

need to be able to smtp out with my domain name though

fluid hosting on their cheaper plan has a "shared SSL" option, I wonder what that means.

Ill have to send them a contact email.

The design firm that is doing the branding for our business is branching off part of their servers with Inflow and 72mm out of Portland, OR, and would be glad to offer their services. PM me if you are interested, and I can put you two in touch.

His company is Rocket Dog Creative.

ihavent done anything with ssl, but http://www.higherhost.com has been very reliable.

one problem, but that was a server malfunction when switching hosting locations, due to the first one sucking ass.

pm rossman for it.

A shared SSL certificate is a certificate installed for the server itself, fox example host.hostingcompany.com -- you have the option to use the shared SSL certificate (most companies offer it for free). It is true 128bit encryption and is no less/more secure then any other certificate. The one disadvantage is that your domain would not be https://yourdomain.com/ securly, it would be https://host.hostingcompany.com/yourdomain/

As long as your budget is $35/mo or higher you can expect:

Resellers account
At least 2GB/20GB
Great server speed/reliability/uptime
True 24/7 tech support
