SSL and shared hosting help needed

[z3r0aCc3Ss]

I have a shared hosting plan. I want to install SSL certificate on my server. I got one for trial.
When I tried to install it, it gave me some error (which I don't remember, but it was unsuccessful, that's all I know, )
When I contacted my host about it, they said that I need a static IP. It can't be installed on a shared IP.
Is there any alternative to my problem? Can I get SSL certificate on my website even if I am on shared hosting?

Do you have a registered domain name for your server?

Because that would do the trick

Yea, obviously. I do. But can't tell you the URL, coz its a shameful URL... Embarrassing for me...
I am using JustHost for hosting services. And using Comodo 90-day free trial SSL certificate.
But, not getting proper way to install it.

Well, that's not obvious to everyone

Depends if your host supports it, and are willing to help you with it.
But from their answer I guess not ^^

Normally this is how you would install a certificate on an apache server (if that is what they use), but you can't do that by yourself.

b_b might have run into this issue before, so maybe he has a better answer

As of now, I am on windows server, and shared hosting. I want to have SSL certificate installed on my domain. How do I do that?
Please help.

phew...my experience with IIS is limited to "been forced to work 3 days with it and hated it", so I can not really help with that. what I can do though is to offer you some hosting on one of my Linux servers and a dedicated IP address.

Depends on the IIS version, but this should shed some light on it

I recommend b_b's suggestion instead though.
