SSL Certificate requirements for Facebook Pages!

Just a suggestion, but why not try looking in your hosting company's support section first.

Hostgator, for example, offer a lot of info about SSL in their Support Portal:-

Jason,

If you are using WordPress to host your Facebook page, then SSL can be managed quite simply with a plugin like Admin-SSL.

You will of course first have to purchase the certificate and have it activated.

If you buy a business account from Hostgator, you get a free dedicated IP, and SSL certificate.

I noticed a couple of days ago that Namecheap were pushing SSL certificates ($1.99) per annum if memory serves me correctly.

Apps are great but for long term "control" its nice to have your own systems in place... Wordpress and a few plugins are a great alternative to these app that are under someone else control.

Hostgator give out a free shared SSL certificates with all shared and reseller plans. You need to know the URL for it but just jump on the live chat and they will tell you what you need to know.

Combine that with the plugin WordPress › WordPress HTTPS (SSL) « WordPress Plugins which lets Wordpress play nice with shared certificates and you should be good to go,.

Great post on it right here:

How To Secure Your Facebook Fan Page | Fanpage Connect

Probably your easiest bet is to go with the HostGator account.

I'm transferring a domain name from GoDaddy to NameCheap to be able to get an SSL certificate for Facebook Fanpages. For a single domain it's like 9 bucks for a year, but with the transfer it's only 2 bucks. Thought I'd add my two cents to anyone who still needs to make this happen.

Thanks to everyone who posted useful information.

You only need to buy an SSL certificate if you are planning on showing a website in Facebook.

Otherwise using third party apps in facebook and hosting your images will work just the same. The cost NIL.

Apps like Static Html, Tab Site, iwipa all have their apps hosted securely you just need to have your images hosted securely. SOME even do that for your for free as well.

Here i have great news, SSL Certificate at just $9 from sslmatrix.com

There are a couple of options that don't force the Page owner to pay for an SSL certificate which is especially helpful for folks who don't already have a hosted domain.
