Private Label SSL

This page explains how to setup your own domain name with a SSL certificate

Showing the booking page securely requires using an SSL certificate for the secure https protocol. Beds24.com has a certificate but if you use your own domain with our certificate the browser will show a warning message.

We can purchase and install a certificate, provide you with a private ip address and a reverse proxy server on our servers for a fee.

It is possible to do this yourself on your own server. We cannot provide support for any work on your server. These instructions are for a LAMP server.

You will need root access to your server, the ability to configure apache and the ability to install a SSL certificate. In principle a small virtual server should be adequate.

1) Setup a LAMP server for your domain.

2) Purchase an SSL certificate for your domain.

3) Setup apache to serve your domain using https:

4) Setup apache to work as a reverse proxy using one of the following configurations for your Apache Virtual Host.

5) Create an A record for your domain pointing at your proxy server's IP address. If you have previously created a CNAME record for non SSL please remove it.
