About Shared SSL

Shared SSL provides a method for secure, encrypted access to your web content without the need to obtain a dedicated IP address and your own SSL Certificate.

At Tame The Web, you can access your site and content via SSL using an address in the format:

https://128bit-secured.co.uk/~youraccountname-  (this is only 8 charachters long)

An example of how this works is such. Fred Bloggs has an site that sells toys called, "The Toy Shop", and the url is http://www.fredstoys.co.uk, he has a shopping cart script that he wants to secure via SSL .  Fred's user name is "fredstoy" (First 8 characters from his primary domain name )

The way this would be done is to use Tame The Webs Shared SSL using his account username. So the url to the shared area would be https://128bit-secured.co.uk/~fredstoy

It is that simple. There are no complex steps to perform. Many popular shopping cart programs include a method of configuring the "secure" url to use, check the documentation for your shopping cart software for more details.
