SSL

(pronounced as separate letters) Short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape one of the first browser developers for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data - a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer and all other web browsers now support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers or personal details.By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:.

Another protocol for transmitting data securely over the World Wide Web is Secure HTTP (S-HTTP). Whereas SSL creates a secure connection between a client and a server, over which any amount of data can be sent securely, S-HTTP is designed to transmit individual messages securely. SSL and S-HTTP, therefore, can be seen as complementary rather than competing technologies. Both protocols have been approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a standard.

Nete-Quette currently offers 2 types of SSL certificates for your needs. Through our partnership with Geotrust we offer a standard 128-Bit SSL certificate to secure your single domain. We also offer a Wild Card certificate than can secure all of your subdomains.

Single Domain Certificates (https://www.yourdomain.com)

Our single domain SSL certificates provide 128-Bit encryption to all data transferred between the client and the server. If you are transmitting sensitive data such as credit card information, you are required to have this kind of protection by credit card companies.

Domain Validated Certificates

Our Positive SSL certificates provide 128-Bit encryption to all data transferred between the client and the server. These new certificates cover both https://yourdomain.com and https://www.yourdomain.com. If you are transmitting sensitive data such as credit card information, you are required to have this kind of protection by credit card companies.
