Default SSL Newbie

Well, I've never used any SSL before, being new to all of this. I currently have a private SSL, the one that comes with the business hosting plan, and was wondering how I could edit the information on it... Like what it's run by, and the text that appears on the bar...

Thanks,
Alex

You can't edit a SSL.

that's the idea of SSL, it is a certificate, You can't just edit it randomly at will, Certificates are issued by trusted issuer, like VeriSign http://www.verisign.co.uk/index.html
To get SSL Cert you have to send notarized papers and stuff

Dang, well I would really like to put like a company name in there, like...

"You are connected to
www.site.com

which is run by
Company Name"

Instead of...
"You are connected to
www.site.com

which is run by
(unknown)"

Oh well, I guess...

Well, don't feel too lonely. Hostgator's own new billing system is still giving "This web site does not supply ownership information" and "Not specified" verification errors. Presumably they too have more notarized papers yet to be filed.

Then you need to purchase a different type of SSL that has company details verified.
