Configure SSL for host-named site collections

In hosting scenarios, hosters can configure a single Web application with SSL and then create multiple host-named site collections within that Web application. To browse to a site over SSL, a server certificate has to be installed and assigned to the IIS Web site. Each host-named site collection in a Web application will share the single server certificate assigned to the IIS Web site.

Programmatically create a host-named site collection

In addition to using the Windows PowerShell to create host-named sites, you can use the SharePoint Server 2010 object model. The following code sample creates the host-named site collection with the URL http://host.header.site.url in the SharePoint Server 2010 Web application with the URL http://servername:

Create a host-named site collection

You must use Windows PowerShell to create a host-named site collection. You cannot use the SharePoint Server 2010 Central Administration Web application to create a host-named site collection, but you can use Central Administration to manage the site collection after you have created it.
You can create a host-named site collection by using the Windows PowerShell New-SPSite cmdlet with the -HostHeaderWebApplication parameter, as shown in the following example:
