dedicated vs shared ssl

Dedicated SSL certificates are available for any website hosted at LittleBizzy. The difference between a “dedicated” SSL cert and our free SSL option is that the dedicated SSL is issued by CloudFlare (Comodo) specifically for your domain only, while the free SSL is in fact a “shared” SSL cert issued for dozens of different domains. While in most cases a shared SSL certificate is completely fine and offers the most modern TLS ciphers available, and therefore the highest security available (paired with Nginx OpenSSL), a dedicated SSL cert is sometimes required by certain payment processors, APIs, third party applications, callback functions, and so forth. If you are hosted at LittleBizzy and you are instructed by your payment processor (etc) that shared SSL certs are not supported, please order a dedicated SSL cert here for a monthly fee. Alternatively, for ultimate privacy and to avoid anyone “snooping” into what domains you share SSL with, you might also consider ordering dedicated SSL.

NOTE: We sell dedicated SSL at the exact same price that CloudFlare offers them, which is $5/month. We do not profit from these dedicated SSL certs whatsoever, in a good faith gesture aimed at keeping costs down for our loyal customers. However, we still required that a one-time SSL Setup service be ordered before ordering this service; if you previously were using “free” SSL and are switching to dedicated SSL, please re-order the SSL Setup service again unless we make an exception for your case.
