Rod_ Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Does anybody use this kind of services like C.O.M.O.D.O., TrustLogo or any other?. I don't know much about security on this kind of systems, but if your customer wants to see something like that kind of security confirmation logos, what do you recommend?. Is the SSL of the system enough?. The point is to show confidence to the customers isn't it?.Regards.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 These are "officially" signed ssl certificates and are essential if you're going to enable SSL on your public store. Self-signed certificates are useless to be hones, and worse than having no certificate at all. Some hosts provide a "proper" ssl cert as part of their package - others do not.Many believe that you don;t need an SSL certificate when you use external payment processors like PayPal (who use their own). I'm of the opinion that having one demonstrates your commitment to your customer's privacy and your system's security, so it is a definite bonus.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod_ Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Reopening old threads =P ...My web hosting services told me that I have to get the add-on for a Secure Server Certificate. It is an Australian Web hosting company and I'm thinking about what are the difference between their certificate and any other one. What do you recommend if my customer wants one?. What about C.O.M.O.D.O.?.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I supply certificates from comodo and am happy with them. They are reasonably priced, and are a well known brand. In terms of an add-on it will probably be that you are on shared hosting, using a shared IP address (also termed a name-based site). To utilise a dedicated SSL certificate you must have your own unique IP address.SSL certificates serve two purposes 1) on a practical level they secure transactions on your site, and 2) It's a nice badge to display to reassure customers. Having a no-name SSL certificate may not help much for the latter, but then the majority of internet users wouldn't know what SSL certificate is :cheese: Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod_ Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 That's true Paul. So the fact is to think in 2 points: 1- customers (security logo from a recognised security's company on home page) 2- system (use just what you really need)Now I'll discuss this with the shop owner. Thanks a lot by that Paul!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
