Ssl

I'm trying to read into your post what you really mean.

Do you mean is it possible for everyone on your server to use the same domain name for SSL? Or for everyone to use one certificate? Or something else?

For everyone to use the same domain name for shared SSL is easy, and you can find lots of posts on these forums.

For everyone to use their own subdomain of the same domain name for shared SSL is a bit harder, and requires purchase of a Wildcard Secure Site Certificate. You simply create a site, and then subdomians of that site for usres.

There's no way for everyone to use their own domain name with one certificate.

You can use one Certificate, as, for example:

secure.example.com

set up on your server, and you can create subdirectories and ftp logins for each of your users.

That way they can all use your domain and your Certificate.

You'll need one regular Site Certificate and one IP#.

Or you can use a wildcard Certificate (they're quite a bit more expensive) for, for example:

*.example.com

And set up multiple sites on your server, as (for example) username.example.com) for each user, each on it's own IP#, and install the Certificate for each site.

What you can't do is use one Certificate for different domain names on your server.

Many of us use my first example to offer a shared Certificate option.
