I read that the module is not for a multi site, however, I don't need it "Shared" by the other sites, whereas I only need it for ONE site domain and ONLY that one.

What's your opinion on this setup? OK to go? I have the SSL installed on the host which is a cPanel with root access (VPS)

If you only use something.com and thats it, then all you need is this module and a working SSL certificate installed on your server. If you have 2 domains like something.com and secure.something.com then you need to use SSO.

Is this module compatible with SSO? Yep, you can do it so long as you have SSO (Single Sign On) working across the 2 domains. So if you have something.com and your SSL domain is secure.something.com, the only thing you need to make sure you have working is SSO between the two domains using drupal. The reason is because drupal treats subdomains differently (as a separate session). So once you can switch between the two domains without having to login, you can then setup uc_ssl. If you skip that step, what will happen is that you will be presented with either a login page when you click "checkout" or you will be given a blank shopping cart (one of the anonymous user). Getting SSO working isnt to difficult and you can find info on how to do that here:

This site teaches you how to setup SSO using built in Drupal settings (no extra modules needed)

If you need a more in-depth SSO solution, then you can look at any of the SSO modules available as well.

Thanks a lot. I just busted my site using the securepages so I will give this a try. I think the issue with multi site setup is that drupal thinks the site is the name of the folder for instance:

folder for site is dev.example.com
production site is example.com

so https://example.com seems to be on the lookout or gets irked and I'm not sure if it's just securepages or the virtual setup or drupal or what. It seems to be working until SSL gets into the mix because SSL is IP based, and, domain name based.

Anyhow, I'm sub-theming off of Zen version 6 drupal, wish me luck
