Normally, any text sent from your browser to the web server is sent as plain text. This means a cracker/hacker could potentially intercept the information sent from your browser and read it. By using the secure server the information is encrypted before it is sent.
If you would like to have your own certificate installed so that customers can navigate your site via https://www.yourdomain.com, you will have to purchase your own certificate. You will need to request us to generate a key and install it on the server.
Once the key is generated, we will order and install the certificate for you and charge your account for that certificate. Certificates are renewed on a yearly basis.
Use SSL only where necessary. Pages load slowly over SSL and place a greater load on the server.
