Paypal want image on a Secure Server - help required please

[jimm]

Cheap SSL certs like RapidSSL go from as little as £11 from Servertastic (tell Andy that fov from amotherby computers sent you and he will see you right if you need to contact him).
But dont forget the cost of an IP.

Thanks Alex, I'll put that to my friend too.
Many thanks again.

Thanks Jimm, very much appreciated.
I learn something new every day on AD.
Forgive me for sounding confused, only I still need to get it straight in my head.
If I buy a SSL for any site, I need to buy my own IP as well ?

I've also looked up SSL and SSH on Google.
Is SSH only if you use Linux Hosting, and SSL for Windows hosting ?

My friend would only need a SSL for hosting this Paypal logo, and maybe a few images for her Facebook Page (from Oct 2011, that is). She just has a static site apart from that, and uses Fasthosts' Windows basic package).

Again, apologies from this newbie.
Many thanks, Steve

Short answer is yes. There are ways to make it so one IP can support many SSL certs but it is not very well supported so dont worry about it!
[edit]
And the IP comes from your provider (fasthosts in this case - but i would recommend a multitude of other hosts before them )

SSL and SSH are completely different. SSL is for both windows and linux servers.
It is used for certifying encryption. SSH is not to be worried about here (used for controlling servers) .

Some shared hosts have an area where you can host secured content for just this purpose. You could ask if they do?

I've read reviews on fasthosts online - interesting reading !
I do have a little website of my own with them, and no probs, but for reseller hosting I'm about to set up, I'm going elsewhere !

Re: SSL / SSH - thank you, that makes it so clear now !

Great idea.

Thanks a million Jimm !
