We Experienced network administrators can purchase set the SSL up themselves using one of the options below: = Option 1: Using Cloudflare for SSL to open your control panel login=  This has been tested and install works on the cloudflare.com free plan. 1) Create an account for your domain at Cloudflare. 2) Move your nameservers from your current host to Cloudflare. 3) Setup your DNS at Cloudflare for all existing services at your domain and sub domains. Cloudflare will attempt to do this automatically. 4) Add a CNAME record at Cloudflare for your private label domain or sub domain pointing to '''admin.beds24.com''' with proxy status = '''Proxied''' 5) Go to the Crypto menu in Cloudflare and change "SSL" = '''Full'''. 6) Go to CloudFlare -> SSL Tab -> Edge Certificates -> At Bottom page -> Enable Universal SSL 7) Wait up to 24 hours and your domain should open with https:// 8) Once https:// is working, go to the Crypto menu in Cloudflare and set "Always use HTTPS" = ON = Option 2: Using Cloudflare for SSL to open your booking page=  1) Follow all the steps above in "Using Cloudflare for SSL to open your control panel login" 2) Go to the menu "Page Rules in Cloudflare 3) Add a certificatenew rule and for "If the URL matches" enter your private label domain. 4) Add the rule type "Forwarding Url" with "Permanent 301" type 5) For the forwarding domain, provide enter your private label domain and add '''booking.php?propid=12345''' where 12345 is the property you want to open.

It is possible to do this yourself on your own server.
These instructions are for a LAMP server.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> 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.
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 don't forget to remove it.
6) Install mod_evasive to block excessive traffic from individual IP's and prevent your entire proxy being blacklisted
apt-get install libapache2-mod-evasive
 
These are appropriate configuration values to enter in evasive.conf
