Security and SSL
SSL Security and your site
Calling pages or forms securely is an important step in collecting information in a confidential, private manner.  "SSL" (secure socket layer) security is a safe, secure method of Internet transmission, and you can use what is called a "shared path" to call your pages and scripts securely.   There's no charge for this capability, and it's easy to do!

How to use the shared Secure Server
The first thing you must find out is on which server your domain resides. To find this information, check with your host - the secure server name will be something like host8.webserver1010.com.

All you have to do in order to call your file securely using our Secure Server is to create your file as you would normally but call it using the following secure address: https://yourservername/yourdomainname/yourfile.html

Note: Be sure to include the "s" in https, and do not include the .com (etc.) or the www. in your domain name of this URL.

Yourfile.html should be in your www directory. If you want to call a file in a directory below your www directory, just make the necessary changes to the address - https://youservername/yourdomainname/
subdirectory/yourfile.html

Secure scripts
Calling scripts securely is done in the same fashion - use "cgi-bin" for the subdirectory - but the process is a little different, and for security purposes we need to enable your account for secure path access for scripts.  If you need that please send us an email asking for secure path access, and we'll set it up for you.
