SSL for Addon domains? SSL limitations

Yes, we can install SSL for an Addon domain name.

Every SSL certificate requires a domain name and a dedicated IP address. Shared web hosting accounts can host multiple domains, but all of the domains share the same IP address. We can only assign one IP address per account, therefore we can only allow one private SSL certificate per cPanel.

If you need multiple SSL certificates or multiple IP addresses, please purchase a reseller account or multiple shared web hosting accounts.

I'm considering installing a private ssl cert on an addon domain in my baby account. How ugly can it get if I want to move that domain to it's own account sometime in the future?

It won't be difficult to move your domain and SSL to a new account.

After you buy the new plan, you will need to change the domain's name servers (or DNS) and request HostGator to install the SSL on the new server (a one-time fee of $10).
