Without any plugins. This is the case even if you aren't running a blog and just serving static files. The reason is because SSL works at a lower layer than HTTP. So all you do is prepend "https:" instead of "http:" to your URL and you're done. There are lots of things to "security," but I take it that you want to login to your blog but with your password encrypted so that no middle man would be able to gain access to your site. You may want to get in touch with Lunarpages support if you need more information about their particular setup. Dear Doug,

I wanted to make it secure and came across the issues of having dedicated ip and ssl certificate. I tried the haristv patched secure login plugin with no luck. Would be curious to know if I got dedicated IP and ssl cert for what like 60 or 70 bucks would the plugin work? Or is there another way to achieve ssl security on my blog.

Glad to hear things are going well with <a href="http://www.lunarpages.com" rel="nofollow">Lunarpages</a>! You might want to email support@lunarpages.com about the MySQL 5 and PHP 5 issues. PHP 5.0.x is available on some servers, and all you have to do is request a move to one of them via email. I'm almost positive this is possible for MySQL 5 too. ;) Either way, yay!
