Do I Need My Own
Secure Certificate?
Probably not, but
read on...
Most web shoppers
rely upon their browser
to tell them whether the connection between their computer and
your web site is secure.
The average online
shopper is intelligent,
sophisticated, and has certain expectations,
but they typically don't know the difference between a
"shared secure certificate"
and your own secure certificate.
Their biggest
concern?
To securely transfer
their sensitive information to you.
Let's Compare...
Your Own
Certificate |
Using Our
Shared Certificate |
Advantages
|
Advantages
|
-
https://www.yourdomain.com
- Has a more professional
polish due to having your own non-shared certificate
- If you jump from host to
host, there won't be any need to change the https links
in your HTML or your software. We don't ever wish
that you have to jump from host to host, but sometimes
we know it takes awhile to find that perfect host.
|
- No yearly cost as it is
included with your ActiveWebHost.com hosting account
- No setup, it's ready to go
right now
- Keep in mind that you can
obtain sensitive information via https via the shared
secure certificate that already comes with your
ActiveWebHost.com account. When you sign up for an
account, you will receive your account details via email
and it will contain the https link that you can use to
securely access any file on your website via
https.
|
Disadvantages
|
Disadvantages
|
- Yearly Cost
- Yearly Re-setup (which
can't be done until the certificate expires which
sometimes
results in a day or two of downtime)
|
|
Both Solutions...
Regardless of which
solution you choose,
your web visitor typically won't notice the difference
as long as they know their information is being securely
sent to you.
Even so, as a
website owner or designer, you may
feel it is important to have your own secure certificate.
If you are in this category, there is some good news as the
yearly fee for secure certificates has dropped considerably.
Purchasing
Your Own Certificate |
If you wish to purchase your own SSL non-shared secure
certificate, keep in mind...
- You can purchase from any
secure certificate seller. You aren't forced to
buy from one vendor as some hosts insist.
- We will install the
certificate for NO CHARGE
- There will be NO
additional monthly fees that we charge you
- We HIGHLY encourage you to
purchase the 128 bit secure certificate for maximum
protection for your shoppers.

Popular
Certificate Providers |
There are many providers, these are just some of the most
popular. It pays to shop around...

While we do provide
links above, it is your responsibility to
ensure you are purchasing the correct certificate for your
account.
Web sites change and the links above could link to the wrong
SSL service for your website.
If you have any
questions, please
let us know
BEFORE purchasing your secure certificate.
We want to get
your site up and going as quickly as possible,
