It is this that controls the lock icon in web browsers. Simon crEA-tEch 08-10-2004, 12:24 PM I think I have SSL on my webspace... It's www.ipowerweb.com How do I use it within my website? crE SimonMc 08-10-2004, 12:32 PM Originally posted by crEA-tEch I think I have SSL on my webspace...

If you are using the shared on you will have to use this url: https://host#.ipowerweb.com/~username where # is your hostname (you can figure it out from the control panel, usually a number). Where username is your login username to vdeck panel Peace, crEA-tEch 08-10-2004, 12:42 PM the ipoweweb site says i have to pay for it if i want it on the domain, pah! If you rather use your domain name instead of the hostname to secure your site, you must purchase an SSL certificate from iPower. Please see "Presales - How do I buy a dedicated SSL?" for information on how to purchase one. Is there no other way? crEA-tEch 08-10-2004, 12:45 PM I want someone to access my site through the domain... if i have to buy SSL like that its a bummer :( azizny 08-10-2004, 12:51 PM Yup.... but it does not really matter about the top header?? just redirect the user to the secure when they access your side.. if you are seeing that you are making enough money, buy one.
