Shared Secure Server
While the HTTPS protocol is supported by every major browser, our contribution to providing you a safe, secure Web experience is the availability of a shared secure server certificate for free. To secure a Web page, you need to know only:
-
the name of your shared secure server (certificate) name and
-
the proper secure URL usage.
To find the URL of your shared secure server name:
|
1 |
Log in to SiteControl and click Website. |
|
2 |
Under the Added Functionality section, click SSL. |
|
3 |
Under the Currently Managing dropdown list, your shared server name appears, usually in the form of id####.securedata.net. |
|
4 |
When using the server name in your HTML code, please be sure to preface it with "https://" (note the "s"). |
To use the proper secure URL:
|
1 |
Let's assume that you have an order form page on your Web site that you wish to secure. |
