SSL (Secure Socket Layer) data transport requires encryption, and many governments have restrictions upon the import, export, and use of encryption technology. If Apache included SSL in the base package, its distribution would involve all sorts of legal and bureaucratic issues, and it would no longer be freely available. Also, some of the technology required to talk to current clients using SSL is patented by RSA Data Security, who restricts its use without a license.

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(however unlikely) the information sent from your browser and read it. However, 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. Use the following url to access your pages via the secure server.

When you connect to a secure web server such as https://www.ssl.com you ask that server to authenticate itself. This authentication is quite a complex process involving public keys, private keys and a digital certificate. The certificate tells you that an independent third party has agreed that the server belongs to the company it claims to belong to. A valid certificate means that you can have confidence that you are sending information to the right place.

Yes, only for the order forms for the cgi script which reside on our server. The fee is the LOW, low US$50 per year. There is no set up fee unless you wish to integrate you stores with Real Time Credit Card processing through a payment gateway. See Next Question.

We do not offer a "shared" SSL certificate, if using a secure server you will need to obtain a certificate for your domain. These start at $125 (for the first year) from Thawte. The main reason for getting a SSL certificate is to ensure to your visitor that they are submitting their information to who they think they are.

No, we do not. If you need SSL, you might consider looking at our partner site, Anu Internet Services, who support this with their Lasso packages. back to top

SSL stand for Secure Sockets Layer and is a method of encrypting data on the internet. All payment gateways use SSL to protect financial data.

Please contact support by submitting a ticket with your domain name to http://www.dyntex.com/support/ticket in order to activate the shared server certificate for your domain. Once a virtual server has been created under your site the appropriate call is:

There is nothing in the specification that would prevent you from doing this. The specification defines how requests should get mapped to resources, the...

This Lassie will be touring the United States promoting a new all-natural dog food this summer. For tour cities and dates, see the Official Lassie Website.

What is SSL? The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and web servers, simply installing a digital certificate turns on their SSL capabilities.
