There are different types of SSL certs (single sites, groups of sites, etc).
Also, your ISP might be giving you the use of a page on their site --
something like http://secure.yourpovider.com/youdomain/

Check the details your provider has.  Also check http://www.thawte.com /

different types of certs.
