Heya,

Not to pour water on the fire, but if you don't understand the basics of setting up an SSL server then you shouldn't really be doing this step yourself. As SMHarman explains, the steps to setting up a decent e-commerce site, from scratch, aren't exactly the simplest.

If you don't know what an SSL certificate is then my guess is that you will have trouble integrating any e-commerce store with the payment gateway, and on an SSL host. Obviously we'll help as much as possible

So your shop would be

https://secure-vault.co.uk/yourusern...shop/index.php Which doesnt look too proffessional.
True, but the same also applies to hosts.co.uk, according to Grahams post
