	SSL - Securing Your Site

Solution A secure site is necessary if you plan to accept online payments through your site and want to offer the utmost in security to your loyal customers. It’s important to protect the identities and credit card information of your clients so that purchasing web hosting through your company is a safe experience.

Secure websites use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology. SSL security safeguards your site against eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery through data encryption, server authentication, and message integrity and client authentication for TCP/IP connections.

The most popular web browsers already offer SSL technology to web users, so the installation of a digital certificate on your web site’s server will initiate the browser’s SSL functions. This means that when SSL sessions begin with a visiting customer, your server can create a public key and private key that is then authenticated by a certificate authority.

Luckily, SSL certificates are affordable, secure, and easy to acquire – you have no excuse not to use this technology on your website.
