You can install SSL on the same server that you server HTTP. When you get your certificate there will be instructions for the specific combination fo server and SSL module that you are using -- just follow those. The standard port is 443. The basic steps are:

- buy or create your own certificate (follow vendor's instructions)

- install mod_ssl or similar in Apache

- generate certificate files and copy them to the right directories in Apache

- edit the httpd.conf file

- start Apache with startssl
