Let's build a web hosting business on a shoestring

Implement SSL for the signup process on your website

Now it is time to put the new certificate to work. We recommend to purchase the SSL certificate for a URL similar to https://secure.yourdomain.com - this way it is highly visible for your clients that you are a responsible web host implementing a high level of security.

Your reseller web host will help you to get the SSL certificate installed and setup on the server. Pay close attention as this might be a recurring case for you if you have clients who will need a certificate, too. In most cases the setup will be a free service of your web host.

Do not try to save money at the wrong place. Security and encryption on the Internet are important. Use your own SSL certificate to advertise your services and what you do toprotect your customers from fraud. They will for sure appreciate it.
