What the hell my hosting company sold me !?!?!?!?
hello people!
well, i have a webpage and as i have ClientExec installed, i thought that it would be important to buy an SSL certificate, so I bought one from my hosting company (dattatec.com). They installed my certificate but all that i get when i enter to my page via HTTPS:// is a warning of firefox.
this is exactly what i get: https://www.playfrag.com/clientes
i contacted the support service and they said me that the certificates were AUTO-Firmed by the site, so its normal.
so, my question is: is there any way to avoid that warning of the browser, or i will have to say them to return my money?
thankyou very much in advance!

You can't avoid the error as it is not a real SSL from a provider like GeoTrust or RapidSSL. It was a self issued SSL.

To avoid that warning, you require a real certificate. The one you are using is a self signed one.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
If you paid for it, ask for them to fix.ZZ Servers - Business Hosting, HIPAA and PCI Compliant Hosting Solutions - http://www.zzservers.com

We have used ************** in the past, and had no problems. Namecheap also offers cheap SSL.
Good luck!FazeWire Web Services.

ok, thank you very much but i have a couple of questions:
1) if a buy a 10.95 dollars/yr certificate from namecheap`, the certificate will fully work, or its also auto-signed like the one i have now?
2) as my hosting is in argentina, having an SSL provided from another country's company, will make my website go slower?
tankyou!
