I’ve searched but can’t find the answer so I’l try here.

I or my host must have done something wrong. In Safari I get an alert  
that the certificate is signed by unknown authority (bought at godaddy),  
or something like that. What can be missing?

And

It’s slower to brows in Safari than e g Firefox behind SSL. Any idea  
why?

These are not Rails issues as far as I can tell. You might have better  
luck on a general Web development or SSH forum.
