Now I see on Dreamhost to access your db via phpMyAdmin you are offered a subdomain like mysql.yourdomain.com
This requires a wildcard certificate which is more expensive than for a single domain.
I should reformulate my question like "Where I can find a good secure hosting for my Wordpress shop?".
But I also have a Heroku Rails app which will need SSL soon.
Now I have two problems:
- find a new host for PHP/WP which offers phpMyAdmin without needing a wildcard certificate
- find a good certificate provider also for my Rails app on Heroku
- nzmsv 16y agoYou don't need a wildcard certificate, unless you want to host a lot of subdomains. If you need one just for mysql.yourdomain.com, you can still get a regular certificate, it just won't apply to www.yourdomain.com. Also, you can always get two. The main difference between GoDaddy's certificates (and similar) and more expensive ones like Thawte and VeriSign is that the former ones are chained. This means browsers don't trust GoDaddy directly. They have to verify their certificate with whatever provider they are using. This is generally not a problem, but does require one extra step from you when setting up the certificate. GoDaddy has instructions.
- csbartus 16y agoI see now, I can use a regular/free certificate for mysql. and a trusted-but-cheap from GoDaddy for www. Thanks a lot!!
