If in a previous article I have approached where to get free SSL certificates for your website, let me continue here with step by step instructions on installation. I will be discussing here a particular case that I used on an IX WebHosting shared account. Installation at other web hosts will be different, so it is also good to check their knowledge base for details.

SSL Certificate – how to install on shared hosting
Free SSL Certificate – where to get and how to install on your website
Website security has become a more and more debated topic these days given the multitude of hacking attacks stealing customer information, online surveillance and ranking factors. Until recently, securing a website with an SSL certificate was a bit more expensive than many website owners were prepared to pay. But things have changed and having your website secured has turned to be a free ride if you know what to do.
CDN or how to make your website lightning-fast
If you run a website or plan to develop one that should attract a good amount of traffic, CDN services are something you should consider. You might have heard already about CDN or Content Delivery Network, but you are not sure what that is. Well basically a CDN service helps a website get faster and takes off some loads that otherwise are meant to your hosting account / server. For a regular website / blog, not using a CDN might not be a problem, but for websites with 1000s of hits / day, this could add up to important server bandwidth and process loads.
