Hi,

Can experienced Zenners here advise on whether SSL should be got for the entire domain (www.example.com) or for the subdomain (secure.example.com)? In my case, I am going to install the store at the root of the domain, NOT at example.com/store.

So, if my store is at www.example.com, can I put only the ordering and checkout at http://secure.example.com and get an SSL for that domain alone? The rest of the catalog, category and product info pages will not be under SSL. Is this okay?

I was also wondering if I could use a self-generated SSL (cPanel) to secure the admin area as my client does not have a budget for a wildcard SSL that would allow them to secure any number of subdomains etc.

Thanks in advance.
