Q: |
What does SSL mean? |
|
A: |
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. It encrypts all data
between our server where your site is stored, and the browser that
the viewer is looking at.
|
|
Q:
|
How do I get SSL? |
|
A: |
SSL is $3 per month with our Value Standard and Value Developer
packages. It comes free with all of our other plans. You will need
to send email to support@designmywebpage.com and request that SSL be
set up, unless you have an e-commerce plan. SSL is automatically
mapped for all e-commerce plans, and the URL is specified in the
Miva Merchant setup mail we send.

|
Q:
|
What will the URL to my
secure pages look like? |
|
A: |
Our free SSL is on a shared certificate. Your secure URL will look
something like one of these:
https://secure3.designmywebpage.com/username
https://www1.safesecureweb.com/username
where username is the username you are assigned at account setup.
|
|
Q:
|
How do I get SSL that
looks like https://www.mydomain.xyz? |
|
A: |
For this, you would need to purchase a secure certificate for your
domain. This requires going to an outside certificate provider (we
can recommend one for you) and giving them some information
regarding you and your company. You will pay them their rates for
the certificate. You will also need us to generate a CSR
(certificate signing request) and set up the secure certificate on
our servers. There is a $50 one-time fee associated with this that
we will charge your account. Email us at support@designmywebpage when
you are ready for us to generate a CSR, and we will email that to
you in text form so that you can give the to your certificate
provider.

|
Q:
|
How do I upload to my
secure site? |
|
A: |
All of the material in your regular directory is mapped to your
secure site. This means that you don't have to upload to a separate
FTP address for your pages to be secure. All of your web will be
secure from the secure URL. For example,
https://www1.safesecureweb.com/yourname/ will point to your index
page. If you have a page in your root directory called mypage.htm,
the secure link for it would be https://www1.safesecureweb.com/yourname/mypage.htm.
|
|
Q: |
How do I link my regular pages to my secure
pages? |
|
A: |
You would link your secure pages the same way you would your
non-secure pages, except using the secure links as described above.
