They are SECURE, all traffic in and out of a site using SSL is encrypted.

Just to give someone A warm fuzzy feeling that they are behind a true SSL site? Other than that, maybe the guarantee the provider offers? I have a Shared SSL Certificate setup but goes through a Site like: https://www.hostingdomain.com/mysite = points to a secure directory on My hosting provider server. That certificate is free of charge. However if I wanted to have it as: https://secure.mysite.com then I have to have my own SSL Cert And dedicated IP. Dedicated IP is about $5 more a month which Is nothing really. So top that with buying and renewing a SSL Cert Every year to achieve that. Just wondering if there would truly be any difference? Personally I think people would like to see the second option Rather than the first one. What are your thoughts before I rush out and buy one. Do you look for those seals such as GeoTrust? Verisign? Would You be compelled to retreat if you seen the seal was from FreeSSL.com (thanks Erika). -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 10:57 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: SSL Certs One cert should cost you around $500-100 - you can use a cert across many servers which share domains as well. So you do not have to get a separate cert for each server. -----Original Message----- From: Marlon Moyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 January 2005 15:54 To: CF-Community Subject: RE: SSL Certs I'm not sure of what qualifications you need to be certified as a CA, but I'm sure that they're probably pretty stringent. My situation works well for me because I'm distributing client certificates also which contain all of the information about the CA, my company, which will automatically install into the clients approved CA list. The first time we secured our web app with digital certificates, it ended up costing the company around $10K for the server and client certs from verisign. You should have seen how well I was treated when I figured out we could do all of this ourselves essentially free... > -----Original Message----- > From: Adkins, Randy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 9:38 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: SSL Certs > > What guidelines makes it certified?
