Re: adding SSL for hosting subdomain only

Depends upon the primary site certificate.  If it's www.xyz.com when 
you'll need a certificate specifically for order.xyz.com  If the 
certificate is a wildcard, then *.xyz.com will work for order.xyz.com.

I used a reverse proxy for all of my sites so the "main" Apache config 
file handles the SSL and then passes all the traffic back to the 
instance serving the content.  It's all dynamic but with the reverse 
proxy handing the traffic back, no changes are needed to the instance 
serving content.
