What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between our web server and your browser remains private and secure. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers. In order to be able to generate an SSL link (signified by the gold padlock in the information tool bar and for URL with https:// instead of http://), a web server requires an SSL Certificate.
How does SSL work?
- Authentication: The server presents the browser with a set of credentials in the form of a server certificate, which is used to verify that the site is what it claims to be.
- Confidentiality: SSL responses are encrypted so that the data cannot be deciphered by third parties as it passes between the client and server on a network.
- Integrity: Guarantee that data is not being modified as it is being passed between the client and server on a network.
Do I need SSL?
If you are creating a web-based form where you want the visitor to enter data and submit the form to the web server for processing, you may want to use SSL encryption service. This is especially true if you are entering credit card numbers or other sensitive information.
Pricing
Certificates are $119 for the initial year, and $95 for each
renewal year.
