Here you go OP:

http://support.hostgator.com/articl...-use/how-to-make-your-facebook-app-ssl-secure

Note: if I remember well, the four #### in the url tu use for shared ssl should be the digits representing the server you are hosted on, you can find them in your cpanel login url (like gator####.hostgator.com)

And no, you don't have to pay $10 nor to install anything to use HG's shared SSL. You need to pay only if you want to install your own private ssl.

I'm sure when i done it, i had to pay host gator, it was like a support fee to create the setup (something like that, but defo had to pay them)
 
u need to chat with them and ask to install it, they will ask u the key and they do the rest, use a dedicated ip address
 
Thank for Help Guys I'll give it a shot :D
 
I usually buy biz hosting plan from them that goes with free dedicated ssl, you need only to submit a form requesting ssl install
