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.
