How do I use shared SSL?

The shared security certificate allows you to redirect any of your website pages through a secure connection.

For example you may have the following pages on your website:

products.html - This page contains a list of products to purchase and a link to your payment page
payment.html - This is the page you wish to access via a secure connection to process a payment
confirmed.html - This is the page customers are returned to once the payment has been successfully processed.

For this example we will assume all of these pages are in the root of your hosting space, your domain name is called mydomain.co.nz and your user ID is mydoma, you are hosting on Unix 2 or Unix 3 package (SSL is not available on Unix 0 or Unix 1 packages) and your server name is: mmm3204

1) On your products page (which would be found at www.mydomain.co.nz/products.html) you would normally create a link to your payment page by entering www.mydomain.co.nz/payment/html as the linking URL however, if you wanted this to be a secure link you would use the following URL https://mmm3204.hosting.melbourneit.com.au/mydoma/payment.html

2) The link/redirection on your payment.html page would then point the successful transaction back to www.mydomain.co.nz/confirmed.html

This means the payment.html page is processed over a secured link

Question: How do I know what the path for the secure server for my hosting is?

Answer: In your Premier Hosting Control Panel under the Manage Account Information page there is a "Real Home Path" mentioned that contains: <server name>/web/<User ID>   This means that your secure server path will be https://<server name>.hosting.melbourneit.com.au/<User ID>/<URL to secure>
