Karlo, a Secure Server is Web server that supports any of the major
security protocols, like SSL, that encrypt and decrypt messages to
protect them against third party tampering. Making purchases from a
secure Web server ensures that a user's payment or personal
information can be translated into a secret code that's difficult to
crack. Major security protocols include SSL, SHTTP, PCT, and IPSec.
If you would like to learn more about secure servers, let me
reference this excellent beginner tutorial at BigNoseBird:

If you would like to get in more depth on web servers, see the
following tutorial at Internet.com's WebServer Compare site:

Section 8 deals with web server security.
