What is encryption (SSL)?

0

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer encryption. It is the standard method of encryption used on the internet for online transactions and collection of any other sensitive data. Modern SSL uses 128-bit encryption – a code which would take the fastest super computer millennia to crack. If you intend to collect Credit Card information on your website, then you REQUIRE an SSL certificate to make sure that this data is secured from interception or eavsdropping by third party onlookers. Our Linux Hosting Plans include a shared secure SSL certificate. If you would like to purchase your own Secure Certificate for your domain, you can through FastWebServer. Check out our E-Commerce Section for more information on secure transactions, or contact us to purchase your own Secure Certificate.
