tangolife Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Must I have a SSL side to do online business? Or do OSC and and Paypal work safe enough together? Take Care! /Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 SSL is not a must but .... me as a customer would not leave any information (ex: create an account) on a NON Secure site HTH The_Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 just an opinion: ssl makes customers feel more secure when doing online business - we have found that even just creating their user account, customers like it that it is under https versus http since doing a paypal transaction basically occurs totally on the paypal site I would think you could do without it, but again (just my opinion), users feel better operating transactions under SSL/https connections than open http connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangolife Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 I understand. Is there no other way to higher security? The problem is I don't got a SSL side. Thanks for your comments! /Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 are you running on a hosted server or a private server? if hosted, don't they offer a shared ssl cert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangolife Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 I am almost sure I dont got SSL. Maybe you can recommend me a low cost host that include it. Thanks again! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 if i recommend a host, someone will surely scream about it.... where are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangolife Posted March 8, 2003 Author Share Posted March 8, 2003 It seems like I got shared ssl. Is that safe enough??? And is it possible to make the URL look good. Thanx My host wrote: SSLWe have a shared ssl that you can use, but this is not the safers way to do this, as its shared and is asigned to our domain name. and the paths for your images will need to relate to the url. Give it a go and see how you get on, https://secure.myhost.com/~xxxxx Please note this is a new feature, and we are still doing some test with the ssl, if you find any problems then let me know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again! :) There are many sources for this online. EDITED: PLEASE DO NOT ADVERTISE HERE - thanks: Linda And its best that you use dedicated SSL. shared is only slightly better then no SSL.
