Hello guys, I would like my website to be assesible through https, ie secured socket layer (ssl) for security purposes, does any body know how I can do that, I don't  have SSL certificate yet, but I feel I need it for security purposes.

It depends on your host. All hosts I've seen allow you to set it up easily for your site. If you're doing your hosting yourself, you could purchase one from Thawte or Verisign -- the two most trusted CSAs.

Then you'll need to install mod_ssl and apachessl if you're running an Apache web server.

1. Create a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from your host panel.
2. Go to the SSL CERT provider.
3. Buy the SSL CERT using the CSR you created from your host panel.
4. Install the Certificate.
5. Ends

You need a CSR to buy a SSL CERT.

Hello Udeze

You want your site run and access via ssl,  do you do online transaction on the site, do u think you have some certain thing you don't want the internet people to viw on your site or a particular page, or you just want to be secure. If it is a particular page you want to denied the internet, then get it lock by authenticating who click that particular page.

Firstly my recommendations, there is no point you run ssl if you don't do online transactions or emailing ,  If you think you want to get your site secure just for security sake, then create a self signing certificate. if your web hosting company allow that. but remember nobody will trust your site than yourself.

If you want to allow your site be trusted by every one then do as your co. webmaster as suggested by purchasing cert from security company like Verisign  or Thawte. This are popular security cert issuing company on the internet.

Best of lock
