You cannot use a standard SSL because standard SSLs only work properly with the domain for which it is issued.
You can, however, use a multi-domain (UCC) SSL to secure both the primary domain and any alias domains on the shared hosting account. Keep in mind, if someone views the certificate on an aliased domain, they will see all other domains that are protected by the UCC SSL. This may not be an ideal situation for unrelated domain names.
