Custom Digital Certificates
The Default Certificate
is a generic way to provide secure access to your Virtual Private Server. If you
want to use your own domain name to provide secure access to your server, however,
you need to get a custom digital certificate. This not only provides secure access
to your Virtual Server, but provides an additional level of customer confidence by
using your own domain name in the secure area of your site.
NOTE: Only one digital certificate can be used on a
Virtual Private Server. This means that a custom digital certificate will disable
your ability to use the securesites.com certificate. This also means that any
other domain on the Virtual Private Server will not be able to have a digital
certificate.
The following instructions will guide you through the process of obtaining and
installing a custom.
- Create A Signing Request and Private Key
- Obtain the Signed Certificate from a Signing Authority
- Install the Signed Certificate on your Virtual Private Server
- Move or copy your Certificate to another Server
- Troubleshooting Digital Certificate Problems
As always, should you encounter problems or require assistance obtaining or
installing your Custom Digital Certificate, feel free to Contact our Support
Staff.
