SSL
- Secure Sockets Layer
SSL certificates offer a secure method for transmitting and
receiving sensitive information (such as credit card numbers,
medical documents, legal writings, and similar). When your
website is ready for e-commerce, an SSL certificate will be
one peice of the overall e-commerce solution.
Premium Level Accounts can requests SSL certificates for
websites. There is no monthly cost for using SSL. GainWithUs
charges a US$100 setup for each SSL Certificate Request
file. Thawte (or Verisign) will also charge a setup fee for
issuing the SSL Ceritificate.
To get SSL setup on your website, follow these simply steps:
1) Log into the web control panel
2) Create a site called secure.domainname.com that maps to the
same physical directory as www.domainname.com and
domainname.com
3) Select Request SSL Certificate from the main menu of the
web control panel
4) Enter the appropriate information into each field in the
form
5) GainWithUs will generate
an SSL Certificate Request file based on the information that
you enter into the form
6) Once GainWithUs has generated
the request file, you can copy the request file from the SSL
Management section of the web control panel and then use the
request file to request an SSL certificate from Thawte
or Verisign
7) Once Thawte or Verisign has created an SSL Certificate
based on the request file, you need to paste the SSL
Certificate into the SSL Management section of the web control
panel.
8) Then GainWithUs attached the
certificate from Thawte or Verisign
9) Once the SSL certificate is attached, you can use SSL
within your site by connecting to https://secure.domainname.com/
