.IN Domain Name
.IN Domain Name
Every Year 15th August holds an important place in every Indian’s heart as it is a moment of pride and the time to celebrate our Independence from the British rule.

This day, the spirit of patriotism is palpable with everyone taking this opportunity to express their love and respect for the country. Flag hoisting, national anthem song, cultural programs, exhibitions are the most common ways to celebrate this day.

Why not, this time, celebrate this day with something that will keep your true Indian identity all along with you: Getting a .IN Domain for you or your business.

.IN is India’s top-level domain name and the most popular domain after .com. According to the data released by NIXI, total .IN registrations had crossed 1.5 Million mark by March 2012. .IN is the domain of choice for all Indian residents, individuals providing professional services in India, or Global organizations running their operations in India, or the Indian organizations providing services to India consumers.

Popularity of India is growing day by day, as the dominance of .COM and the belief of .COM being the global domain seems to be waning. Assumingly, it was generally believed that .com is the global domain extension and gets you additional benefits over other ccTLds and Gtlds for that matter. But, with the research and the studies done to understand if .Com is any better than the other Gtlds OR CcTLDS, in terms of Google ranking or acceptability, the myth has long been broken. It has been proved that there is no reason to believe that a .com is going to make your brand more popular than others. Irrespective of the domain extension, the popularity of your website depends upon several other technical and tactical factors.

So, make this Independence Day memorable by getting your true INDIAN online identity.

SSL Certificates - Low Cost, High Assurance, Secure Sockets Layer!


SSL Certificate
SSL Certificate
The SSL certificate means a Netscape developed protocol called Secure Sockets Layer. For the purpose of communicating with clients on the web, in a secure manner, installation of secure site SSL certificates are made. If the installation of this certificate is not done on the server, then anyone can view or intercept the website for information. 

SSL certificates at low cost and high assurance have a lot of advantages to it. Potential buyers start gaining trust in your website which is one of the main advantages. If the secure URL is different then, many of the customers do not feel comfortable in putting up details of the credit card on the site.  

Customers Feel Confident Enough
Consider a high assurance, low cost dedicated SSL so that customers feel confident to furnish details of their credit card on your cart for shopping. A SSL that is dedicated also shows that the web certificate is dedicated to your site and in the name of your company.

If yours is an ecommerce site then it is necessary to have the SSL certificate. In a secured manner this protocol helps in private document transmission. Once you have this certificate it secures your site and enables you to use the ecommerce cart or the shopping cart securely on the site. 

Three Types of Validation 
Instead of using http:// the certificate allows browsing with https://. Security of information on bank accounts and credit card numbers which is extremely confidential is ensured. Once the SSL certificate is purchased, its validation has to be performed in three different ways. One is organizational validation, domain validation and extended validation.

In the case of organizational validation, information from multiple sources is checked for the business. This is for ensuring the business names, names of the owners etc matches with business registration. With listings of businesses locally, the details also should perfectly match. A secure SSL certificate is issued when a check is done to ensure that with the business listings locally match well. For certificate verification the organizational validation method is used. All information required for business verification can be used.

Affordable Method
The next is domain validation, the most affordable method done at the domain level. For checking whether or not the person who controls the domain is the recipient, an email is sent to a domain associated account. To determine whether or not the domain’s legitimate owner is the person, the email is not provided guarantee. Validation can be done by calling up the person. It is only the SSL certificate which helps ensuring proper verification of business.

In the case of extended validation a popular method, on the address bar of the browser. A highlight in green for the business name and site appears. All information is verified after contacting the owner of the domain via a number taken from the phone directory locally. Two weeks are taken for issuing the SSL certificate using extended validation. A certificate that is designed by self is another option for SSL certificate validation.  In a web browser, display of a warning appears to ask if the user is interested in proceeding or not.
