Secure Server

Each domain has the ability to access our secure server using our site-wide shared secure certificate, or to purchase their own private secure certificate (see below). 

Shared Secure Server

For our Shared Secure Server, the code placed in your web page should be as follows:

https://host2.52601.com/yourdomain/yourpage.html

DO NOT INCLUDE the .com, .net or other extension for your domain.

Normally, any text(such as your credit card number) sent from your browser to the web server is sent as plain text. This means that a hacker could potentially intercept the information sent from your browser and read it. Therefore, by using the secure server, the information is encrypted before it is sent from your browser. It would be practically impossible for anyone to decrypt it without knowing the key.

The above page would be accessed from the normal web server as:

http://yourdomain.com/yourpage.html

Using FormMail Securely with our Shared Secure Server

If you are calling formmail through the secure server, your action line and other code will be as follows:

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=
    "https://host2.52601.com/yourdomain/cgi-sys/formmail.pl">
<input type=hidden name="recipient"
 value="emailaccount@yourdomain.com">
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Order">
<input type=hidden name="return_link_URL" value=
    "https://host2.52601.com/yourdomain/yourpage.html">
<input type=hidden name="return_link_title" 
value="https://host2.52601.com/yourdomain/yourpage.html">

The fields in the example above are the same fields that are explained in the FormMail section of this manual

Purchase and Using Your own Private Secure Server

You can also choose to purchase your own Security Certificate so you can access information securely using your own secure url of https://yoursite.com
