SSL Are they really worth it?

[luke]

my opinoin: YES!
why???
when i see a SSL i do always do a background check on the company to see if they are legit saying that i normally fall for scams :\

anyway
what is a SSL?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers.

Cost Effective?

These days you can pick up a SSL for just over $8 but this is why i love it so much... all the certificated are nearly 100% the same with a exeption... a wildcard SSL will allow you to use https:// on ALL of your domains/subdomains with a normal SSL it will only cover 1 domain/ subdomain thats how they make there money



if you want any more info i would look here
