SSL Certificates and Rackspace Cloud Server

Advertisement

SSL Certificates are becoming important any type of websites. Let us get started with SSL Certificate on Unmanaged Rackspace Cloud Server. The SSL Certificates part is not clear to the most. Google AdSense now supports HTTPS URLs, by the way.

 

SSL Certificates and Rackspace Cloud Server : Observed Facts

 

Google uses SSL Certificate for their near all Domains and Subdomains. Possibly SSL in future will be an important part for protection of Intellectual Properties too. We can not give any opinion on SEO and usage of SSL Certificates, but for Membership Websites, Code Hosting, Sales Pages; SSL SSL Certificates are important to gain trust (it increases the reliability of the Server – it is fully technical and no SEO expert can ignore this point). It is fact that, despite SSL Certificates (or the HTTPS protocol) increases the time to load a webpage, where ever possible Google widely uses SSL Certificates. Even, in many pages; redirection is not present :

https://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/

 

The only exception is scholar.google.com, possibly as Google has no property of them in that subdomain. We do not think, doing a research on Google Pattern of usage of SSL Certificates or minimum specs will do any harm. One should know the basics of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security), once you start to use SSL; you must continue it, if you strip off later – you’ll get penalized. This reverse thing about withdrawing SSL Certificates is known. So, you need to know terminologies like Extended Validation SSL Certificate. So, adding a SSL Certificate; today we think will at least not harm if you can carry the cost. It is practically meaningless to use a Free SSL Certificate.

But, be careful about Mixed Content Error (happens if Static Contents are Served From non-SSL CDN URL of Rackspace Cloud Files), not Redirecting Properly etc. matters. Without any doubt, SSL adds seriousness to the Domain. Nowadays, LinkBuilding Websites are using SSL Certificates – keep in mind, these peoples know better practical things from Trial and Error methods. SEO Part is your headache, we only told you about the observed phenomenon and will say you the technical parts.

 

SSL Certificates and Rackspace Cloud Server : Perform a Market Research

 

From various sources, find the affordable yet right SSL Certificate. Google uses SSL Certificate of GeoTrust Global CA, it is TLS v1.0, 128 bit ARC4 (2048 bit RSA/SHA) and from browser it shows to be valid for *.google.co.in.

SSL Certificates and Rackspace Cloud Server

Comodo PositiveSSL costs the least at Namecheap (closer to $8 per year).
Hack exists – You can change the Server (optional) and/or use all the Trials. Everyone knows that OpenSSL is Free. Comodo Free SSL provides 90 days free. After 90 days, it can happen that your Mother became the owner of the Domain. We practically need to find Legal Ways of Cheating – a Simple Few Lines of Code really can not cost $2000 USD. It is not exactly an insurance. After 5-6 years, we think; SSL Certificates will cost very less. Rackspace excellent support costs only $1200 per year!

When I used Windows and was student, I never used any cracked software or bought any software – all provides 30 days trial. A simple format solves the payment, you can calculate; a hard disk if dies after 10 times formatting; still Adobe Photoshop CS, MS Office, MS Windows 32 bit – only three cost few times more than a hard disk.

 

SSL Certificates and Rackspace Cloud Server : Steps

 

So, Comodo PositiveSSL from namecheap.com became our choice; honestly; even if two sub-domains requires SSL, it still costs less. They can add some offer like Super Markets – buy 3 Comodo PositiveSSL for sub-domains get 2 more free.

We are describing for Apache Server. You will receive the SSL certificate from the company, upload it to :

Vim
1
~/domain-name.com.ssl/domain.com.crt

There are three parts – certificate, key, and csr. Possibly the default location is :

Vim
1
/usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt/

You need to copy all the stuffs to the intended and planned same location. These are basics, we will discuss in details in near future about the installation part.
