title: Using a self signed SSL certificate just for a web service
body: <p>I have a web service that clients will have and I want the data that's sent to the server encrypted. To test this I used a self signed SSL certificate. I know that when you use a self signed cert and when you navigate to whatever address is using it that the web browser will warn you that it's unsafe etc.</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering if I'm I going to run into any problems if I used this certificate instead of a verified one when the web service goes live?</p>
  
  <p>Also I don't have a domain name for the server, so I am just going to use the IP address given by my ISP, is this ok to do so with the certificate, because everywhere I read about them people are talking about using them with domain names?</p>
