Greetings,

I've enabled SSL, however, the browser is giving an error message when I visit my site. It looks like the server is using a "self signed" certificate. How can I get a trusted certificate?

Thanks,
Shane.

The easiest way would be to buy a Cert from a trusted CA, such as a RapidSSL or QuickSSL from GeoTrust, or some other CA.

Here's an article about how to generate a CSR and Private Key in Plesk 10: http://myhosting.com/kb/How_to_Install_SSL_Certificates_in_Plesk_10. You can follow these steps and buy a Cert directly from GeoTrust, Thawte, Comodo, etc.

Or you can buy one from us in your https://manage.myhosting.com control panel from Billing - Order New Service - GeoTrust SSL Certificates. When submitting your order you can paste in the CSR you generated from Plesk when following the article above.
