What is SSL access?

SSL is a way of publishing websites securely. It ensures that nobody can read the information sent between the server and your visitor.

A page sent securely using SSL will display the small lock icon so your visitor knows they can trust your site.

The most common reason SSL is used on websites is for advanced features such as taking product orders online using credit cards, using secure login pages, and secure downloads.

SSL is trusted because it's security is almost impossible to break, even by supercomputers.

With our Business and Multimedia plan accounts can optionally choose to display certain pages securely using our shared SSL server.
