| SSL Certificate |
With the rising popularity of e-commerce and growth in the
number of online shoppers, there is a growing concern on the security of online
transactions. With so many hackers and internet thieves out there to attack
your websites and steal your client’s sensitive information, there must be
proper arrangements made to ensure the security of your website as well as all
online business transactions.
SSL Certificates-Abbreviation for Secure Socket Layer, are
designed to do just that: secure your business transactions and ensure the
safety of your all important data and information being exchanged online.
As a domain and hosting reseller, it becomes important to
advise your clients, to secure their websites, especially e-commerce websites
that involve payment transactions and exchange of sensitive information of
customers’ bank details. In India, business owners are yet to fully
realize the importance of an SSL certificate and securing their websites
against any hacking or phishing attack. It is only a small percentage of total
websites (both static and dynamic websites) that have an SSL certificate
embedded on them. It is only when websites are compromised or they lose their
sensitive data to hackers or online thieves that their owners realize they
should have their secured by an SSL certificate. Once you lose your data,
it becomes a real challenge to start afresh and create a new website.
Also, if, unfortunately, your bank details are stolen, you can just imagine the
repercussions it will have both on your personal as well as professional
life. It is so surprising to know that despite knowing the risk
that they carry, we still see websites, involving exchange of sensitive
information and online transactions, existing without any SSL certificate on
them. As a web hosting reseller, you provide web services like domain
registrations, web hosting and Email solutions to your clients; and, most of the
times, design their websites as well; then, why not also suggest them to secure
their website with an SSL Certificate; especially if their website is going to
be an e-commerce website. Most of the domain name registrars also have an SSL
reseller options and provide attractive discounts on the various SSL
certificates they offer. You can check with your partner Domain Registrar if
they have SSL certificates in their product offering as well; and if not, then
you may want to directly sign up for a reseller account with any of the major
SSL service providers like Symantec, GeoTrust, Thawte, Norton and so on.
In addition to giving your handsome margins on sales, SSL certificates will ensure that you design fully secured websites to your clients
also.
