HTTPS ( register, login and submitting forms )

Hi.

As title&desc says. Im going to use shared/self signed SSL certificate for starters, because i can't afford my own just yet.

I did do alot of search&reading on tutorials, but there must be something what i didn't understand?

Do i need to set some forwardes on cPanel, do some modding on somewhere or, is it because shared/self signed SSL uses different URL, for example: my site is http://dragonsfiles.com and when i enable HTTPS, site URL is: HTTPS://random-random.hosting-dragonsfiles.com and when HTTPS is enabled in settings, site kind of "breaks" and i barely get options back to disable HTTPS ( i have to add "s" everytime page changes )

Hmm, this sounds very confusing when i type it, hope you get my point.



Thanks.





EDIT:



Also about sandboxing:



I need safe enviroment to do testing and modding, and if something goes wrong main site is not affected. I tried to do what like it says in FAQ, but problem is that if i do editing, in that "folder"/"domain" it redirects to my main site and edits main files, what i like to be safe. In this case too, there is something that i don't fully understand.



Thanks again

I got this "solved" and solution was so simple that im ashamed i did not figured it out earlier..


1:
HTTPS is not possible on shared/self signed certificate because it can't be tied close enough on hosting/server. Only option is not to use it, or buy own dedicated certificate what comes with dedicated IP.

2:
I created new install on demo domain and "cloned" aka copied all needed files there.

Sometimes man just thinks too difficult and can't see clear answer in front of his face

This can be closed or trashed.
