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. Verisign is decent. Thawte is also a good SSL Certificate.

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.

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.

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.

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. Yes you can create multiple secure websites on an singe server. But both websites need a different ip number!

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.
