Require a UK reseller host that supports shared SSL
Hello,
I am in a bit of a quandry. I have a reseller hosting account with innohosting and to date, they have been superb.
However, my core business is setting up hosting and installing ecommerce packages, design etc.
No problem until today.
I took it for granted that I would be able to provide my customers with a shared SSL for their login/admin of the cart, payment.
It even says in the customers cpanel:
Your Shared SSL Certficate URL
https://iwebshop.co.uk/~giftsnew/
which works to a degree but looses the session after a couple of pages.
After raising a ticket and after a long discussion, it seems they dont support shared SSL....which ive never come across before. Our other hosting account with another reseller does and its simply setup and had 0 problems with any of our customers implementing it.
If i stay with innohosting the only SSL option to give my customers is a dedicated ssl solution, which would cost them about 30 a year. Fine for dedicated ecommerce customers but a small ecommerce setup wont pay for a dedicated SSL. I dont blame them.
So i really have no choice but to change my reseller hosting, i cant use my other reseller account i have with resellerchoice.com as they are windows and i need a linux one.
Infact, ive never heard of a reseller that doesnt allow SSL, im stunned or ill informed about linux hosting.
Can anyone suggest a UK hosting reseller (linux) that allows shared SSL? They must have excellent support!
Many thanks.
