If you are reading this document before actually installing Friendica, you might want to consider a very simple option: Go for a shared hosting account _without your own domain name_. That way, your address will be something like ``yourname.yourprovidersname.com``, which isn't very fancy compared to ``yourname.com``. But it will still be your very own site, and you will _usually_ be able to hitch a lift on your provider's SSL certificate. That means that you won't need to configure SSL at all - it will simply work out of the box when people type ``https`` instead of ``http``.

## Shared hosts ##
If you are using a shared host, your provider may well obtain and install the certificate for you. You will then only need to apply and pay for it – and everything will be set up. If that is the case for you, the rest of this document need not concern you at all. Just make sure the certificate is for the address that Friendica uses: e.g. myownfriendica.com or friendica.myserver.com.
