SSL Question
Hi,
I am going to add shared ssl to my server using the https://server1.domain.com/~user method. I have read a bunch of posts but I still have one question. I have my server named my.domain.com but also have registered securedomain.com and want to use it for ssl. Can I just point the secure domain name to the main server IP or will I have to change the server name?
Thanks,
Tim

I'd create a seperate account with a dedicated IP for securedomain.com on that server. If you're using CPanel, it should automatically add "UserDir public_html" to that domain's <VirtualHost> block, meaning things will begin working as soon as you generate the CSR and install the dummy cert.

That UserDir line will allow everyone to be able to use your certificate by going to https://securedomain.com/~username/.
