SSL - Secure Sockets Layer

Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL provides an easy way to offer a secure - encrypted - method of accessing your web site.
You can offer the highest level of security to customers and users of your site, to help ensure their privacy.

How do I setup my pages and scripts to use SSL?

Upload your html pages via FTP to the /secure_html directory on your web site and upload any cgi or perl scripts to the /secure_html/cgi-local directory.

Make sure when uploading *.html, *.htm, *.pl, and *.cgi files via FTP that you upload them as ASCII files and NOT Binary files.

If there is no /secure_html/ directory, you may not be set up with SSL.
Send an email using the Contact Page requesting SSL for your site.

To use SSL on your site, do the following:

a) The URL to use to access a secure page from any other html page is:
https://<ssl_servername>.domainnameservers.net/<username>/html_file

Email us to be reminded which SSL server you are on.

b) If you are accessing an SSL cgi or perl script from an html page, use:

https://<ssl_servername>.domainnameservers.net/cgi-bin/<username>/filename

c) If within any cgi or perl scripts you need to reference SSL pages or scripts, use the full path:

/home/<username>/secure_html
