Secure Server

Secure Server

Each domain has the ability to access our secure server using our "site-wide shared secure certificate" free of charge OR to purchase their own private secure certificate (see below).

 

Shared Secure Server

For our Shared Secure Server, the code placed in your web page should be as follows:

https://host.our-web-host.com/yourdomain/yourpage.html DO NOT INCLUDE the .com, .net or other extension for your domain.

Normally, any text (such as your credit card number) sent from your browser to the web server is sent as plain text. This means that a hacker could potentially intercept the information sent from your browser and read it. Therefore, by using the secure server, the information is encrypted before it is sent from your browser. It would be practically impossible for anyone to decrypt it without knowing the key.

The above page would be accessed from the normal web server as:

http://yourdomain.com/yourpage.html

 

Using FormMail Securely with our Shared Secure Server

If you are calling formmail through the secure server, your action line will be as follows:

https://host.our-web-host.com/yourdomain/cgi-sys/formmail.pl DO NOT INCLUDE the .com, .net or other extension for your domain.

 

Purchasing and Using Your own Private Secure Server

You can also choose to purchase your own Security Certificate so you can access information securely using your own secure url of https://yourdomain.com

To purchase a and install your own secure certificate just click on the GeoTrust icon in your control panel.
