you can get really cheap ones, like $20/year, but you can also get really expensive ones, I've seen over 1k per year.
What is the difference between these? Right now I just use self signed but eventually I'll probably want to get a "real" one to suppress all the warnings. (newer browsers are bad for that, they make it look like the site is down, to a typical user).
I am receiving a cert error and the bar turns red after I continue on saying it is not a trusted site. What do I need to do to have it turn green?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOne of my sites is currently hosted on an IIS server. It has an SSL certificate that the host has setup and they've placed a .PFX file for that certificate in my root directory.
I would like to transfer that site to my new server that runs cPanel/WHM. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? Do I require the co-operation of my previous (IIS) host to do it, or can I do it on my own? And is there a simple way to do it since I have cPanel/WHM installed?
I am trying to install my SSL certifcate from godaddy onto my godaddy dedicated server.
I already called them, and followed their instructions on re-keying and I think I did it all correctly.
After the process, four files were generated:
mydomain.com.crt
mydomain.key
mydomain.csr
gd_intermediate_bundle.crt
I noticed that the directory for my website contained a 'public_html' folder and a 'certs' folder. So, naturally, I moved them all to the 'certs' folder.
/home/myusername/certs/
The instructions then said to edit ssl.conf, which I found in /etc/httpd/conf.d/
They said to ADD these 3 vague directives:
SSLCertificateFile /pathtoyour/certificate/file
SSLCertificateKeyFile /pathtoyour/key/file
SSLCertficateChainFile /pathto/gd_intermediate_bundle/file
My ssl.conf already contained similar directives, but they pointed to what looked like server defaults. Since the instructions said to add the directives, I simply added them underneath what was already there. Not exactly sure which file is which, I guessed, here is what I added:
SSLCertificateFile /home/myusername/certs/mydomain.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/myusername/certs/mydomain.key
SSLCertficateChainFile /home/myusername/certs/gd_intermediate_bundle.crt
Then, the instructions said to restart Apache.
Here is where my trouble is. Apache won't restart! (This is Apache 2 by the way.)
I went to the ssl.conf file and commented out my 3 directives.
Apache successfully restarted! So, I tried adding my 3 directives back in and this time commenting out the two default directives that looked similar.
The lines were:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
I tried again, and Apache again failed to start!
I tried contacting godaddy, they escalated the issue, and I saw them poking around my server this morning. They left my Apache turned off when they logged out. So I decided it was time to put my website back up (I need this thing running, you know?) and ask for help so I can do this myself.
What did I do that is causing Apache to not start up?
While I can’t really comment on the quality of SSL cert that GoDaddy provides, I can attest to the fact that GoDaddy does provide cheap, easy to install, SSL certs. All the SSL certs that I have are provided by GoDaddy and I do plan to continue doing so unless I find out that their SSL certs aren’t comparable to other SSL certs with the same protection e.g. 128 bit encryption.
The bottom line is, if you want a cheap, fairly simple SSL choice, then you may find GoDaddy to be a solid choice.
Where can I find the cheapest wildcard SSL certificates?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have installed a new SSL cert and tried to assign it to an IP address.
Plesk says "Information: The properties of the IP address .... were changed."
But it seems the SSL cert was not changed.
Running in mysql the following query
select d.name from domains d inner join hosting h on h.dom_id = d.id where h.certificate_id = <id of new cert>;
gives:
Empty set (0.00 sec)
I changed the cert for the IP where all my domains are so it should show the domains using that IP/cert. Running the query using the ID of the old cert lists all the domains on that IP/cert.
Just received a new set of signed certs and trying to implement these on a Win2k3 x86 system with the ApacheLounge 2.2.29 1.0.1l build it won't start up, not log anything in error log. httpd -t doesn't return any issues, using the same key/cert with the openssl s_server is OK.

I have been with Blue Virtual (bluevirtual.com) for many years, since the Communitech days. However, the service these past few weeks has gone downhill big time.
The BV forums are dead, the webhosting is up and down like a yoyo, mail is intermittent.
Not just me but fellow users are experiencing the same.
Support tickets are going unanswered (accounts & tech. support).

View 10 Replies View RelatedWe are in the process building a new colocation facility and I wanted to take some input from everyone here. We have most of the infrastructure planning and layout done but were still early on in the construction phase so now is the last chance to get some input. I have two main questions I wanted to ask.
1)When your looking for a colocation facility what things are most important to you?
2)Have you ever wished that datacenters offered something outside the normal things that most providers do.
i don't get why people can have more than one static ip...wouldn't you only need one?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have never understand this? Honestly, what is the point if they all point to one web server? I mean if the web server fails it doesnt do any good if you have 10 DNS servers. The only time it makes sense to me to run multiple DNS servers is if your DNS server is a piece of junk, and always goes down, which honestly doesnt happen that much.

2. Move mysql and home folder to 4xSCSI raid 10
I looked all over the web.....well google like 5-6 pages and found the answer but I am not sure I understand.
What is the difference from having [url]and [url]?
does it make a difference to the web user, is it a server thing.
I'm curious. I have read some stuff recently about Amazon, Mosso and other clouds. I know Mosso has switched over to a request based pricing model and I realized that I am not sure exactly what a 'request' is.
I think that a hit, as tallied by AWStats, Webalizer, etc. would be the same thing as a request, but I wasn't 100% sure if that was the case with Mosso. I actually contacted Mosso support (someone I know is considering using them) to ask them for clarification on a request. They stated that a page with two images would be three requests, one for each image and one for the page itself. I asked if it was the same as 'hits' and they said no, it isn't. This didn't sound right to me, because my understanding of 'hits' is the same as how he described 'requests'.
So, I figured I would just ask the experts on WHT.
I am looking to purchase either a VPS1024 or Hybrid1 server from WiredTree this Friday.
The purpose of the server is to house a fairly active phpBB3 forum (10,000 registered members with around 100 members online at any one time). Now what is the benefit of going for the more expensive Hybrid1 ($99 with coupon) compared to the VPS1024 ($71.20 with coupon) - thats almost a $30 difference in price?
In layman terms - am I going to get a greater benefit with the Hybrid1 over the VPS1024?
