How can I add an SSL certificate so I can use HTTPS browsing?

I believe its an option given by your hosting company

[lordsmurf]

Buy the cert, for starters. And then use a host that supports SSL. You'll have to have a dedicated IP for it.

Dynamic Address is no allow?

[DSdavidDS]

Yea, found that out today T.T Do you guys know a free SSL host?

[WebKing27]

You can use servers SSL, if not worrying about browser compatibilities/verifications. You can get it at an affordable price at my host as well.... here.. Affordable SSL Certificates

aww...guess it isnt gonna work D=

Of course it works. I've used a dynamic IP for years with SSL running without any problems at all, and I have never purchsed a certificate. The catch is that I have a self-signed certificate, completely fine for my purposes. This allows me to make sure information is transmitted with all the protection of SSL. The only difference is that I don't have an independent/trusted 3rd party verifying to the rest of the world that my server is what I say it is, and browsers complain about connecting to an untrusted site. I click through that warning with no problems.

These days you can even run multiple domain names, each with its own secure connection, over a single IP address (dynamic or fixed). I've been using this for years out of my home-based apache server. I have self-signed certificates for each of these.

Google "self signed SSL certificate" for hundreds of articles on this. You do have to have shell access to your server as well as to the apache (or IIS) config files. Ask more questions in this forum if you have any problems.
