What
is SSL?
SSL (Secure Socket Layer), is a
server-side service that encrypts data that is input through a
web page. It is commonly used in conjunction with online forms
and shopping carts to secure the transmission of sensitive data,
such as credit card information
How do i use SSL Certificate for my Web Site?
SSL is automatically included with all our accounts. In order to
use it, just upload the files or directories that you want to
encrypt via SSL to your httpsdocs directory (instead of your
httpdocs directory). In order to call out your SSL files or
directories, you'll need to make sure that the URL you use
starts with "https://" (instead of "http://).
PLEASE NOTE: If you do not use your own
SSL domain-specific certificate,
then SSL requests will reference the server's default SSL
certificate and visitors will receive a warning that the
certificate is not "authentic" since it referenced our
server name, not your domain name. Other than that, the actual
encryption and functionality is the same regardless of what
certificate is used.
