What is a DigitalCertificate? A digital certificate is a form which verifies that the website where your form data is being sent to has a registered DUNS# and is a legitimate company. It can be ordered from Verisign or Thawte.Digital Certificates enable SSL on a server; giving you the ability to communicate securely with your web clients. SSL protects all communications and data with your clients; enabling you to take credit card orders and to protect sensitive personal information. Ordering SSL There are two ways of ordering ssl depending on the current package you have with us at "We Host Anyone". If you currently have the Silver,Gold or Platinum Cyber packages, simply visit our additional service's form at: https:wehostanyone.com/addservices.php Once the request is processed, we will set your account up on an ssl server. All the details on how to reference the digital certificate will be sent to you. If you wish, you can also use this site as a good reference. If you have a Basic Hosting Account, you must also request this additional service at:https://wehostanyone.securesites.com/addservices.php However,since you're Virtual Server account is hosted on another server, we will also need to process a CSR (Certificate Signing Request). In order to do this, we will need the following information. Make sure you email this to hostmaster@wehostanyone.com Country Name: US State or Province: California (don't use illegal characters: -'&) City or Locality: Westwood Organization Name: Your Company Name. Dpt.or Unit Name: Development  Common Name: www.your_domain.name(domain listed on certificate) Webmaster E-mail: webmaster@your_domain.name Login Name: your_username Domain Name: www.your_domain.name IP Number 130.94.91.36 Webmaster Name James Bond e-mail contact James@your_domain.name Once the CSR is processed, we will send you specific instructions on how to order the Digital Certificate for your virtual server. (The CSR must be processed in order for you to order the digital certificate.) The CA (certificate authority) will email you the encrypted certificate, and you in turn, will email us the certificate for us to install. Once installed, your server will be ssl enabled. USING SSL When the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) feature has been enabled for your account, you can use SSL to encrypt any page on your site. For example, to call a form on your site, you would use the following: <a href ="https://www.your_domain.name/your_username/form.phpl">file</a>You can SSL encrypt a CGI script while calling it with the fllowing:https://www.your_domain.name/your_username/cgi-bin/something.pl You must reference the page through the hostname of the ssl server (the name that is on the digital certificate) or you will receive the "certificate does not match error". Note : most hostnames must begin with the "www" prefix as in www.your_domain.name (All links on the page that are being referenced via the "https" protocol must either be "relative" links, or they must start with "https". They should not start with "http". If they do start with "http", the page will show a "this information is not secure" error message.) Also,if you are referencing a directory with the "https" protocol (for example, you want the "index.phpl" page to load), you must put a forward slash after the directory name... Example... https://www.your_domain.name/your_username is not correct and will not work properly https://www.your_domain.name/your_username/ is correct.
