“Trust
your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own,
instead of someone else's.” ~ Billy Wilder ~
One of the biggest
problems facing businesses that use the Internet is the issue
of trust and security. Many people do not trust the Web and
are concerned about the safety of their credit card and personal
details.
If you are handling
financial transactions on your website, there is no question
that an SSL certificate is required. If you are managing sensitive
customer data, the use of an SSL certificate is worth serious
consideration – especially if customer/member security
and privacy is high on your list of priorities.
Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) is a protocol developed by Netscape in
1996 which quickly became the method of choice for securing
data transmissions across the Internet. When customers access
your website through an SSL connection, the information transmitted
between the secured web hosting server and your customer’s
browser is encrypted. This ensures customer information is
securely transmitted to and from your website.
There are two main
reasons why you should use a digital certificate:
- To prove your
company's (or your web hosting server's) identity online
and in so doing create a sense of trust and confidence
in using your web site.
- To offer protection of the data submitted to your website
(or between servers) through the use of encryption. Should
any information be intercepted, it will be unintelligible
without the unique key used for decryption
 PiXEL

certificates, the second largest Certification Authority

mean second best though – we partner with Thawte because

Your
website customers will have peace of mind, immediately knowing
that:
- Information exchanged
with you is private and entirely protected from being
viewed or tampered with
- An independent
check has been performed to validate that the domain has
been registered and you have the right to use the domain
in question. This will instill confidence and encourage
follow-through on online transactions and communication.
These
SSL certificates offer website owners the security needed
to be taken seriously as an online merchant or information
provider. Fast turnaround time and minimal cost, combined
with the fact that Thawte certificates have amongst the highest
browser compatibility in the market, provides the value which
is essential in an industry where trust and credibility mean
even more than usual.

When
the digital secure certificate is installed on your web hosting
server, your customers will be able to view the following
information:
- The Fully Qualified
Domain Name (FQDN) for which the certificate was issued.
This allows them to check that the certificate was issued
for your domain (URL)
- The validity
dates of the certificate. This is extremely important,
since it shows users when your SSL certificate was issued
as well as when it will expire.
The
beauty of a digital SSL certificate is that when customers
access your web site through an SSL connection, the information
transmitted between your secured web hosting server and your
customer’s browser is encrypted. This ensures customers’
information like credit card numbers are securely transmitted
to and from your website.
- Prices start
from $US199 for a one-year SSL123 Certificate, plus site
integration.
