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: |
Shared SSL is $10
per month on both Windows and Linux servers. You will need
to submit a support ticket at top of any of our web pages request
that SSL be set up, unless you have an e-commerce plan (Windows).
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 shared SSL look like? |
|
A: |
Our SSL is on a
shared certificate. Your secure URL will look something like one
of these:
https://tysrr.net/~username
https://tysrr.net/~username/your-domain-name
where username is
the username you are assigned at account setup.
|
|
Q: |
How do I get SSL that looks like https://tys.us? |
|
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 $100 one-time fee associated with this that we will
charge your account. Submit a support ticket at top of any of our
web pages 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://tys.us/ will point
to your index page. If you have a page in your root directory
called mypage.html, the secure link for it would be https://tys.us/mypage.html.
|
|
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. |
