Re: SSL Help

The cert is yours. You can take it with you unless you fail to hang onto
the private key for it. As long as you purchase it yourself, that should be
no problem.

For SSL, the certificate is tied to the DNS name that is used to access the
site. Thus, if your site is www.foo.com, the cert's name should be
www.foo.com. Otherwise, users will get browser warnings when the access
your site via SSL.

Typically, DNS names are tied to a static IP address, but there are services
out there like dyndns that will allow you to associate a DNS name with a
dynamic IP address.

Can noyo9ne recommend a web group, usenet group that can answer
questions about SSL certificates?

What I need to know is if you purchased a cert. for www.yyy.com and
you move it from one provider to another, can you take the SSL cert.
along or will you need a new one?

Also, can you get a SSL cert. on a dynamic IP? I was told that it only
worked for static IPs.

Thanks
