The problem you are encountering is most likely being caused by the use of your domain name when connecting via shared SSL using our shared certificate.

The correct URL to use when accessing your site via shared SSL is:

https://ssl###.alentus.com/ssldir

Where "###" is your webserver number, for example, if your shared webserver is NS112.zabco.net, then "###" is equal to "112".

Each SSL certificate is issued to a specific domain name and the secure connections offered by an SSL certificate will only work with URLs that use that specific domain name encoded into the certificate.

In this case, the shared SSL certificate on the web server is mapped to the alentus.com domain name and will only work with URLs that use the alentus.com URL as shown above.

To be able to use a secure URL like:

https://www.my-domain-here.com

You will need to obtain a custom certificate that is mapped specifically to your site and domain name. To do this takes a few steps and there is are setup and recurring cost associated with doing this.
