SSL Server for Worldgroup
Process secure web transactions on your Worldgroup Web Server!

When you walk into a store, you know who you are dealing with. You see the products, the branding and the store assistant. You can be sure that if something should be wrong with your purchase, you’ll have recourse to the store manager or owner.

But on the Internet, website visitors generally have no reliable way of knowing who owns the website (the virtual store). When customers visit a website with the intent of making an online purchase, they want to know whom they’ll be paying. They want proof of the identity of the website owner, and they want to know that the personal information they send to the website cannot be intercepted by other Internet users. This is where SSL digital certificates come to the fore.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a protocol developed by Netscape that enables a web browser and a web server to communicate securely; it allows the web browser to authenticate the web server. The SSL protocol requires the web server to have a digital certificate installed on it in order for an SSL connection to be made.

Thanks to an SSL-enabled web server and an SSL certificate, a customer connecting to a secure website is assured of three things:

·	Authentication: The website really is owned by the company that installed the certificate. 
·	Message privacy: Using a unique “session key”, SSL encrypts all information exchanged between your web server and your customers, such as credit card numbers and other personal data. This ensures that personal information cannot be viewed if it is intercepted by unauthorized parties. 
·	Message integrity: The data cannot be tampered with over the Internet. 

Your customers benefit because they know that by checking the details in the certificate, they can assure themselves that the website they are dealing with is in fact the website they want to be dealing with. They also know that a third party on the Internet cannot intercept their credit card or personal details. 

If it is important for you to assure your customers that they are not at risk when sending data over the Internet, you should get the Worldgroup SSL Server and an SSL certificate. If you have more than one domain name to secure, then you should have more than one SSL certificate. Digital certificates are domain name and host name specific, so you will need as many certificates as you have domain names. 

Reassurance pays. Your e-commerce business will benefit from an SSL- enabled web server and digital certificate and you'll see an increase in online purchases from customers who feel more secure buying from you online.
