SSL Certificates

I was wondering where you guys got your SSL Certificates from? Do you buy because of the price or do you think that people check for certs that are endorsed by the bigger companies?

No SSL is not a matter of price.

On the other hand it is not really a matter of security. I mean that you can allways have your secure connection without signing with a CA authority.

So I think that SSL is about branding, and how safe you can make your visitors feel.

That's why I use Verisign, as they are the biggest company around.

That is so true... the encryption is the same no matter what. It is almost the impression that counts.

Yeah, that's the point.

I agree with Nick too.

Go with the strong is better

I agree with Nicholas. SSL is secure site certificate and it's help for your site secure and safe.

I studied about the SSL certifcate in ISS but what is the purpose of it?

Is there any difference between SSL certificates and Wildcard SSL certificates?

On the other hand it is not really a matter of security. I mean that you can allways have your secure connection without signing with a CA authority.

I think I need another cup of coffee since the first one hasn't kicked in yet. Thor, your post seems to indicate that it is possible to install a cert that is signed by an intermediary (chained cert) however when I attempted to do so, EFT server complained that the key didn't match and would not allow me to tie the cert to the site (under xyz site>Connection Options>SSL Certificate Options>Certificate file path). Downloading a trial SSL123 cert from Thawte it installed just fine.

Well the other hand it is not  actually  a  issue  of security. I  signify  that you can allways have your  protected   attachment  without  marking  with a CA authority.

I think the same process can be used if you are using other certificates. I use a Quick SSL and used the above process and it was successful. What do you think, will i face any problems later?

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the two most widely deployed security protocols in use today. SSL is essentially a protocol that provides a secure channel between two machines operating over the Internet or an internal network. In today?s Internet focused world, we typically see SSL in use when a web browser needs to securely connect to a web server over the insecure Internet.

Technically SSL is a transparent protocol, which requires little interaction from the end user when establishing a secure session. For example, in the case of a browser, users are alerted to the presence of SSL when the browser displays a padlock, or in the case of Extended Validation SSL the address bar displays both a padlock and a green bar or green name. This is the key to the success of SSL ? it provides an incredibly simple, yet secure experience for end users.

I am getting ready to set up my first e-Commerce project, and I need to do it economically. Therefore, I think I want to start out using Siteground's shared SSL certificate. What do I have to do to have my website make a secure connection using this certificate?

About RSS Submit, you can use html2rss to mix all you backlink and then submit only 1 link. It's great!

i think in simple words SSL certificate is the security sign that you show to your visitors........
