SSL on a SQL Database

I have an asp.net website hosted by another provider and an SQL database attached to it. That provider doesn't support SSL on the SQL database.

At this stage I just want to get a SQL database up and running with SSL and then look at moving the website over down the track if everything works the way I hope it does. I just wanted to confirm the process for getting the following up and running:

I setup an account as per your normal process and use the domain name hosted by the other provider. Then add a SQL database as an add-on to the account.

Do I need to add the SSL add-on?
Can I use the free RapidSSL cert for the SQL database?

Thanks for your time.
Cheers

 

Thanks for your rapid response Bruce.

Just confirming then that I just need to create an account and add the MS SQL 2008 database add-on and use your 'built-in' cert to enable an encrypted connection to it.

Cheers

 

Correct. No need to add SSL service.

 

Excellent! Account created and I'm underway.

Thanks very much!
