Secure Server Socket Layer Hosting
Secure Web HostingStarting an ecommerce site ? Need to store personal data in accordance with Data Protection Registration rules ? Want to provide customer assurance that their data is safe ? Othello Technology Systems can provide your own secure certificate and webspace (as https://secure.yourcompany.com) or you can use our low cost shared certificate services (as https://secure.sslpages.co.uk/~yourcompany/) Whichever option you choose, the rest of your site can be with any hosting provider you choose - even us ;) When your customer is directed to our secure server, they will see the all important padlock icon, showing that you are committed to keeping their details safe and secure.
Please note, our SSL services provide only the encryption to protect details across the internet and associated webspace to store the secure html pages, it does not supply ecommerce/credit-card transaction software - we can do this but it is a separate solution - please contact us for details.
We do not recommend you order shared SSL hosting if you do not already have existing hosted webspace with a provider - see Web Site Hosting for more details, because Shared SSL space provides a subdirectory on an Othello Technology Systems shared secure server intended for secure transactions/forms only and not for your entire website. HTTPS webspace performs Noticably slower than ordinary HTTP webspace due to the additional server resources and encryption, so we recommend separate hosting for the bulk of the webpages. [ Free guide on building successful ecommerce solutions ] [ Free guide on securing Apache Webserver ] [ Free guide on securing Microsoft IIS ] About SSL TechnologyInformation submitted by your customers from your websites is normally done through an online form, which transmits the results in plain-text format. This information could potentially be intercepted and/or altered en-route by a malicious user or hacker. Secure Server Services use a technology called SSL to encrypt and decrypt the information between browser and server, so that it becomes virtually impossible to hack into or alter.Why Choose SSLWhen you collect any information from your visitors that you consider to be confidential, or anything about their financial matters (credit card numbers, addresses etc) then you should be handling that data in a secure manner. Othello Technology Systems SSL Hosting allows you to add the following features to your website :
Your visitors will see that you take security and personal information seriously by showing the all-important padlock symbol in their browser, instilling confidence and removing the barriers to "making-the-sale".
Shared vs Own SSL CertificatesSecure web servers require a certificate to show that they are who they state they are, and that the browser really is connected to a known, verifiable secure server. Certificates are issued by industry recognised and trusted 3rd party companies like Comodo, Thawte and Verisign. You can choose to have your own certificate, or use our sslpages.co.uk shared certificate.Own SSL certificate hosting is designed for larger organisations who require the secure URL in their own domain name e.g. https://secure.yourcompany.com Shared SSL hosting is designed for smaller SME's, and allocates you secure space on one of our sshosting.co.uk servers under our InstantSSLPro certificate at the URL https://secure.sslpages.co.uk/~yourcompany/ Changing Web HostYou do not need to change anything about your web hosting arrangements to use Othello Technology Systems shared SSL hosting, it doesn't matter if you have your own dedicated server or some free space at your ISP, as all the secure pages and scripts will be hosted on our servers. You will need to have a couple of small changes to the DNS records for your domain to use the Othello Technology Systems own SSL certificate service, but your existing host should do these for free and within 48 hours you can have your own secure-server !How Much is the SSL ServicePrices depend on the amount of webspace needed to store your secure pages (all details on a secure page should be located within the secure environment - but not the whole site!), data-transfer requirements and certificate type ...
