So I just followed this tutorial and set myself up a SSL certificate for my domain. Though, currently, the domain doesn't point to my server...

Do I need the domain to point to my server before I can request my certificate from GoDaddy? Or can I submit the certificate request, have them return the .crt then point the domain over when it's needed..?

Technically, you don't need to have a server up for an SSL certificate to be granted. GoDaddy's identity validation procedures may require one, and that I don't know about. But providing proof that you do in fact own the domain you're requesting the SSL certificate for should be sufficient.

Aight, I've sent of the request. Cheers for the help. – Hank Jul 29 '10 at 2:52
