SSL Certificate's
You cannot use a standard SSL
because standard SSLs only work properly with the domain for which it is issued.
You can, however, use a multi-domain (UCC) SSL
to secure both the primary domain and any alias domains on the shared hosting account. Keep in mind, if someone views the certificate on an aliased domain, they will see all other domains that are protected by the UCC SSL
. This may not be an ideal situation for unrelated domain names.

In essence: The combination of a rigorous, standardized vetting process and new browser
versions displaying EV SSL
-secured websites differently enables website visitors to instantly recognize that a website can be trusted. As Internet
users become familiar with the new browser
versions, they will immediately recognize the difference between websites that are secured with traditional SSL
certificates and those that are covered by the more stringent EV SSL
standard.

A Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL
certificate is a digital certificate issued in conformance with the extended validation guidelines defined by the CA/Browser
Forum
.
The introduction of Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL
certificates will tighten the security of Internet
transactions as certificate requestors will be subject to a thorough, standardized vetting process which all issuing Certification Authorities (CAs) must adhere to.
The Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL
certificate standard provides an improved level of authentication
of entities that request digital certificates for securing transactions on their websites. The Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL
Certificate standard provides an improved level of authentication
of entities that request digital certificates for securing transactions on their websites. The latest generation of Internet
browsers will display Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL
-secured websites in a way that allows visitors to instantly recognize that the organization that operates the site has been authenticated in accordance with the CA/Browser
Forum
's uniform vetting standard.
Premium Extended Validation (EV) SSL
certificates are particularly useful for companies whose Internet
domains are considered at a high risk of being targeted by phishing schemes and other types of Internet
fraud. High-risk domains include domains owned by high-profile online financial services, banking sites, auction sites, popular retailers and other sites that conduct Internet
transactions likely to be targeted by Internet
fraud.

Deluxe and Premium SSL
Certificates
If all required documentation has been successfully authenticated and the final phone call has been completed (during business hours of the requestor), a Deluxe and Premium SSL
Certificate generally can be issued within 2-5 hours of CSR submission.
Standard SSL
Certificates
If all required documentation is provided and we successfully authenticate the submitted information, an SSL
Certificate can be issued within minutes of CSR submission.

An "https://" prefix in the URL
and a key or padlock icon
in the browser
's status bar indicate that a page within a website is secure.
An SSL
-encrypted session usually starts once a visitor signs in to a secure area of a website, such as the checkout or account-management area of an online store.

Once signed and issued, you will receive an email
message that allows you to download
the certificate along with our intermediate certificates, all of which must be installed on your website.
The specific installation procedure is determined by your choice of Web server
software.

All of our SSL
certificates support high-grade 128 / 256-bit encryption
.
The actual encryption
strength on a secure connection using a digital certificate is determined by the level of encryption
supported by the user's browser
and the server
that the website resides on. For example, the combination of a Firefox browser
and an Apache Web server
normally enables up to 256-bit AES encryption
with our SSL
certificates. This means that depending on the Web browser
and Web server
that combine to establish the secure connection through one of our SSL
certificates, the encryption
strength of the secure connection may be 40, 56, 128, or 256 bit.

An SSL
certificate ensures safe, easy, and convenient Internet
shopping. Once an Internet
user enters a secure area — by entering credit card information, email
address, or other personal data, for example — the shopping site's SSL
certificate enables the browser
and Web server
to build a secure, encrypted connection. The SSL
"handshake" process, which establishes the secure session, takes place discreetly behind the scene without interrupting the consumer's shopping experience. A "padlock" icon
in the browser
's status bar and the "https://" prefix in the URL
are the only visible indications of a secure session in progress.
By contrast, if a user attempts to submit personal information to an unsecured website (i.e., a site that is not protected with a valid SSL
certificate), the browser
's built-in security mechanism triggers a warning to the user, reminding him/her that the site is not secure and that sensitive data might be intercepted by third parties. Faced with such a warning, most Internet
users will likely look elsewhere to make a purchase.

An SSL
certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a website and encrypts information sent to the server
using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL
) technology. Encryption
is the process of scrambling data into an undecipherable format that can only be returned to a readable format with the proper decryption key.
A certificate serves as an electronic "passport" that establishes an online entity’s credentials when doing business on the Web. When an Internet
user attempts to send confidential information to a Web server
, the user’s browser
accesses the server’s digital certificate and establishes a secure connection.
An SSL
certificate contains the following information:
* The certificate holder’s name
* The certificate’s serial number and expiration date
* A copy of the certificate holder’s public key
* The digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority
