Actually, since these are dedicated questions, you should email
dedicated@lunarpages.com about questions.
For the questions, I would say your SSL will have to be dedicated as this isn't a shared server but a dedicated one and it doesn't include an SSL by default. You can install the SSL onto the IP for the server itself though, then let customers use that ssl in the format
https://hostname.domain.com/~username/For Managed Hosting, I would recommend it for a few reasons:
- we install security components on it (apf, rootkit hunter)
- we will reboot upon your request at no charge for an unlimited number of times (cost to reboot upon request without managed is $10 per occurrence) and we will reboot if your server becomes unresponsive in our monitoring system within 5 minutes
- we will be able to see if your server is having troubles and can email you about them or take action on our end
- you have 1 free script install (typically cost is $75 per hour to do an install) included with the managed hosting
- we will contact you and perform component upgrades such as php or apache whenever there are security upgrades needed
Have a Blessed Day
