EZ-PayPro: Frequently Asked Questions
When you shop online, and you go to a web page where it asks for your credit card information, you should see a little padlock symbol at the bottom of your web browser window. Only web pages that own a SSL Certificate have this padlock on them. This indicates that information entered on this web page is secure. By secure, we mean encrypted (encoded) so that no one may intercept this data except the intended persons. Only fools buy something from a web site WITHOUT this (SSL) padlock.

What is the difference between Shared SSL and SSL certificate?

Forbesoft, Inc. - Application Service Provider and Web Hosti...
Shared SSL means that a secure URL mirrors the domain (i.e. https://secure.webminders.com/yourdomain mirrors all the files). That means that if you are calling or writing via SSL (i.e. credit card numbers), then you should use the secure URL above rather than the domain: http://www.yourdomain.com. Your own SSL certificate would be https://mydomain.com and looks more professional, although it is more expensive to setup.
