What is a private SSL (Secure-Sockets Layer)?
A. A private SSL would display as https://www.yourdomain.com in the address bar. The other common SSL found on some hosting service is known as a “shared SSL”. This would display as https//ip/~yourusername/. I recommend that you purchase a private SSL if you choose an ecommerce site ($100.00 onetime installation fee and $100.00 per year).
