SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol originally developed by Netscape for transmitting private and secure documents via the Internet, and is crucial in implementing E-commerce and other secure transactions. SSL works by using a public key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. All popular web browsers (>99%) support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:, and most web browsers display a "lock" icon to indicate the website is secure.

An increasing number of people will not submit their private details on the web unless they know the transaction is secure, and a secure website is the best way to provide web security.

Obtaining a certificate to enable SSL on your website can be complicated and time consuming, so we can handle the entire setup process for you for only US$150, which includes the price of the certificate for 1 year. Please sign up for a Web Hosting Plan first, and then Contact Us to obtain the certificate and secure your website.
