E commerce
Q. What is the
difference between shared ssl and private ssl?
A. ssl is the preferred method to receive sensitive information - through a separate, "secure
server". Our free shared ssl
displays in a users address bar as https//ip/~yourusername/. Some
browsers may display a warning that the certificate is valid but
does not match the websites address. It is most useful for
exchanging sensitive data with people you know. A
private ssl will display as
https://www.yourdomain.com in the address bar.
No warning will display provided your certificate is valid. There is no difference in the level of
security.
Q. How do I
purchase a private ssl from you and what type is it?
A. We sell GeoTrust certificates. The cost is $100 per year
installed. Please email us to request a private SSL.
Q. I'm going
to purchase my own ssl what do I need to know?
A. Our servers
are Apache + Mod SSL. There is a $50.00 installation fee.
Q. How do I
transfer a ssl?
A. Every vendor that sells ssl's has a different transfer procedure. You will
need to ask the
supplier
you purchased it from.
Subdomains
Q. What is a subdomain?
A. www.domain.com
is a domain name. A subdomain is anything that replaces the www
in a domain... forum.aol.com is a
subdomain. www.forum.aol.com is not a subdomain.
