What is the difference between Shared SSL and Personal SSL?
A Shared SSL certificate is automatically created for all the websites (excluding the “Fusion Starter” package). It is a long name, for example https://pro.webfusion-secure.co.uk/~mydomain.com/, and because it is a subdirectory, your links will not automatically work. All of your files and directories can be accessed in this way
Personal SSL is sold separately, you get an IP for your website, and your own SSL certificate, https://secure.mydomain.com.
What is the cost of Shared SSL?
Shared SSL is free for all customers on all packages other than the “Fusion Starter” package.
Which packages is Shared SSL available on?
Shared SSL is available on all packages other than the “Fusion Starter” package.
How can I access my website over Shared SSL?
