| While I'm not new to Windows Server or network administration I am fairly new to getting everything clicking right on a IIS server. I have somewhat of a problem in regard to obtaining an SSL certificate for my two domains (cost prohibitive right now).
I have two domains (schoolco.com and posterhome.com) that I recently moved over to a dedicated server through a web hosting company. I have a single IP address to operate both domains from. As I understand it unless I get a wildcard certificate (which I currently can't afford) I can't use host headers and the only other option is to assign seperate port #'s for each domain. However, I don't want people having to go to http://*address*:80
Is there any way around this without adding another IP address?
Also, once i resolve this I would prefer to setup a single secured domain with a single certificate and refer both schoolco.com and posterhome.com to that secure domain. I was thinking something along the lines of https://secure.schoolco.com to keep from having to buy multiple certificates. Does this logic make sense?
Thanks |
