As a Reseller, you will most likely have customers that require SSL certificates for their websites. You can purchase SSL\u2019s from the InMotion Store, then install them for your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resellers also have the option of using FreeSSL certificates with their domains. For more information, please see How to Add FreeSSL Certificates to Reseller Accounts<\/a>. Note that if your reseller sites are handling critical data such as credit card transactions or other sensitive data, then it is suggested that you purchase an SSL certificate with a dedicated IP address. Need more dedicated IP\u2019s? Be sure to check out our newest Reseller VPS<\/a> hosting plans that include more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
