Do I need a Dedicated SSL?

[ALFO]

Just wondered what opinion was on this.

Do I need a dedicated SSL certificate if I am on a shared hosting environment?

What are the benefits?

Depending on your host and if you can obtain a dedicated IP that a private SSL requires, this is normally the more professional approach as the browser never indicates to the customer that they have left your site. An action the can make some shoppers unsettled about entering their information.

The private is isued to your domain name and you can move your store and your SSL to another host without un-necessary re-configuration, The shared stays with the host.

A private SSL can be obtained for under $20 USD or $0.5 a day
