How can we process transactions securely on the web? Any safe transaction should happen between the customer and the web site in a manner that no one can read or intercept the transaction details. To enable this fast transaction SSL, other wise called as secure sockets layer is very useful. This program works through the encryption routines and programs that are found on the web host and browser.
Many might ask “I am designing a website and how can I get SSL for my website?’
Once you know the basic meaning and facts related to SSL activate the SSL option and provide necessary information there like country/state and organization. Do not fill in anything in the tab SSL request or SSL certificate. Then go the action tab and choose create certification and click save. When you visit the SSL tab again you will find the certificate signing request (CSR) under SSL request. Using this CSR apply for an SSL certificate with companies like VeriSign, Geotrust, SSLGenie etc.
Some companies might offer trial versions and always follow the instructions provided with the company’s web site. After getting the certificate copy it into the SSL certificate and then choose save under the actions tab. Now that one knows how to include the SSL in their website they should also know which form of SSL is best. Whether 128-bit SSL or 40-bit SSL? So what are they and which is the best SSL? When a transaction takes place between the customer and the website the level of encryption is decided by the browser, the customers OS and the SSL certificate?
When a site uses low level encryption like 40 or 56 bits then any hacker using his brains and tools can break the security of the website. Thus the 128 bit SSL is preferred as it is a high level encryption. Hackers find it difficult to crack the code and enter the security zone with this high level encryption. Thus this 128 bit SSL is the best for an enhanced and secured transaction. Nowadays 128 bit encryption with an SGC (server-gated cryptography) enabled SSL certification is considered to the best fool proof SSL. It is unique as it protects the private keys and ensures anyone visiting the site irrespective of their OS have a fair and secured transaction.
If the website deals with payments, collects personal data like tax ID, emails, birthdays etc or other bank or credit card details then a high level 128 bit or even more should be maintained to gain good will and trust among customers. They will feel safe and comfortable to have transaction with you and will be also feel safe about the details they have shared. Many have a doubt as to whether their browser is capable of using SSL certificates. Well as far as VeriSign, SSLGenie, Thawte is considered they work with almost all browsers. Thus 128 bit or more with SGC enabled SSL certificate is what can be safe and can be used for the website.

An SSL, or secured sockets layer certificate is something that a Web site uses to encrypt data that’s sent from a user to a Web site in order to protect their information.

Help answer the question about SSL certificate
What is the important of Re-issuance (Reissue of) SSL Certificate? Not only enough certificate backup?I'm new to website management and SSL. Please explain me.
If we backup the certificate, can we use any time to restore?
Why we spent extra for Re-issuance?
Thanks in advance.

If you want a secure website (where people are notified traffic is encrypted by the browser), you NEED an SSL certificate for your site (and connect to it via https://). There's no other way around that.
Otherwise, you might as well just put text or a graphic on your site saying that it's 'safe'. What stops me from taking the graphic directly from HackerProof and make any site look safe just by displaying it. Where is the security there?
Unfortunately, the big problem is that just because it's an SSL certified site, doesn't mean that it hasn't been hacked (it just means that a third-party has verified the owner of the site to be legitimate).
Other sites that offer just certificates, will charge you yearly for the use of a bot scanner (ie: antivirus/antimalware). Why not just invest in a good antivirus/bot scanning package yourself, and save yourself the annual fee?
SSL certs should only cost about $150 per year or less btw. Try http://www.digicert.com for your cert needs if you decide to go that route.
You need to check with your registrar who registered your domain name they will be able to do it for you.

Yes you can create multiple secure websites on an singe server. But both websites need a different ip number!
mydomain.net. 10.0.0.1
sub.mydomain.net. 10.0.0.2
The SSL protocol is only working on HTTP 1.0 and not the HTTP 1.1 protocol. Within the HTTP 1.1 protocol you can send the hostname of the server in the header.
You only need a SSL certificate if you want to offer secure transactions on your web site. You would only need this if you are going to want people to enter private information such as credit card numbers. SSL allows that information to be encrypted before it is sent from the browser to the server. If you don't have SSL, the credit card numbers would be sent unencrypted, and anyone could intercept them.
If your web site isn't going to be doing any transactions with sensitive information like that, then you don't need a SSL certificate.
The 12.99 SSL certificate only certifies that the site is secure. You don't get the green bar if someone visits your site. The green thing shows that the company is validated, such company exists, such company is trusted, the company can be sued easily if it cheats you. (which costs 500). You get a green bar when you visit it. (it means it is secure)
Basically the $500 also includes insurance or warranty…should your customers credit card accounts get hijacked somehow, they will refund the customers (I think)
You need OpenSSL support on linux (and the certificate file). To use SSL, just make the beginning of the website address as https:// instead of http://
Basically you need to force the shopping cart pages to use SSL. Maybe you could try putting the general info pages on a webserver that allows only http, and the confidential pages on a webserver that allows only https. I don't know how to do this though.
Well, once the certificate is installed, you cannot change the .com address (or the DNS name) it is registered to. Also you need something called a seal on each of your webpages (like thawte secured, verisign secured, and so on, whatever certifier you subscribe to, they will give you the seal.)
I hope I helped.
An SSL is a secured way to send encrypted data, and SSL certificate is a real good sign of people entering there credit card information (even if you are doing it with E-Junkie or whatever merchant service providers).
So yes, you would need SSL.
You must have observed that https:// is very much secure way for your target customers to enter the site and buy your goods / products, in your case its dog treats.
Verisign is decent. Thawte is also a good SSL Certificate. However, the list price on a new Thawte SSL Web Server Certificate is about $250 for one year.
