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
- Renewing your Digital Certificate
- 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.
