Question:
Does 3Essentials allow SSL on a subdomain?
For example, https://store.mydomain.com ("store.mydomain.com" is a subdomain of mydomain.com)
Answer:
- Shared Hosting: Yes, however a special configuration is required:
- In the plesk control panel, the standard method for creating a subdomain is using the subdomains icon under the domain in question. I.e., yielding this type of configuration:
- domain: mydomain.com
- subdomain: images.gofishcommercial.com
- However, Plesk does not provide any options for adding SSL support on that subdomain, preventing you from having SSL/HTTPS support on the subdomain.
- There is a workaround; you can actually configure your subdomain as a DOMAIN in plesk. The functionality will be absolutely the same, however instead of this:
- domain: gofishcommercial.com
- subdomain: images.gofishcommercial.com
- You would see THIS:
- domain: gofishcommercial.com
- domain: images.gofishcommercial.com
- With the subdomain configured as a DOMAIN, we're then be able to use plesk to configure SSL/HTTPS support on the subdomain.
- Note that this will count as one of your "domains" being used in your hosting plan.
- So if you have a 10 domain plan, this subdomain would use one of available 10 domains.
- If you have a single domain plan, you will need to add a second domain to your plan. Please submit a request to our BILLING team for options on adding an additional an additional domain to your existing plan.
- Dedicated/Virtual Servers: This is up to the customer to configure, as Ded/Virt Server customers manage their own hosting configuration.
- Dedicated/Virtual Managed Servers: Yes, see the note under Shared Hosting.
