Shared SSL Included For Free!
When
you host with Mega Hosters we give you use of our free SSL Certificate. It is
a way to use an SSL certificate without actually buying one.
Processing transactions securely on the web means that we need to be able to
transmit information between the web site and the customer in a manner that makes
it difficult for other people to intercept and read. SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer,
takes care of this for us and it works through a combination of programs and
encryption/decryption routines that exist on the web hosting computer and in
browser programs (like Netscape and Internet Explorer) used by the internet public.
Unlike a regular SSL certificate, it costs less, doesn't require a dedicated
IP, and belongs to an equally trusted Certificate Authority. The disadvantage
of shared SSL is that it can be used only with third level domains.
You will be able to set up a third level extension of megahosters.com for use
on our Shared SSL Certificate. For example you decide you want to use https://yourshop.megahosters.com...
When you want to process a secure transaction this is the URL where you will
send your customers to.
