FREE SSL secure Web hosting - while offer lasts

If you have purchased a domain name with us and have set up your Web site, you should consider using SSL to secure your site if you intend to conduct e-commerce transactions or provide your visitors a means of getting secured viewing channel. If you are accepting your customers' credit card information through your Web site, you are also accepting the responsibility for the security of that information -- in this case, you must use SSL to protect this information.

The standard industry protocol for securing Web sites is called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity and client authentication for general Web-based TCP/IP connections, allowing client/server applications to communicate in a way that prevents eavesdropping, tampering or message forgery.


Small Yellow Lock

When a Website is protected by SSL, users will see a small yellow lock on the bottom of their browsers. For netscape users, this lock will be on the bottom left corner.

SSL is built into all major Web browsers, so simply installing a digital certificate on the server of a Web site will enable the browser's SSL capabilities. The protocol is available in both 40-bit and 128-bit strengths, referring to the different lengths of the "session key" generated by each encrypted transaction.


Wyith Limited d/b/a DomainAvenue.com has been a Thawte ISP Partner since 1997. We offer various types of digital certificates and secure solutions. We also work with other providers, like Comodo and RSA.

In order to establish SSL capabilities for your Website, you will need a server that is able to generate a public key and a private key and have them authenticated by a certificate authority, such as VeriSign www.verisign.com, Thawte www.thawte.com, or InstantSSL www.instantssl.com. However, the cost of getting such certification can be expensive and ranges from USD60 to USD500 per year.

Getting rid of the expensive costs
