Mr Motivator Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'd like to make one of my webpages with a form on for addresses secure. How do I go about doing this?Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Get a certificate, cost around 60 quid. Get a dedicated server, setup apache with SSL.Or find a host that will do a SSL certificate included. Normally you have to buy the certificate though, and pay extra to be able to use SSL on your site.Out of interest, why do you want SSL? The only reason its ever needed is for credit card information, or if you dabble in warez and need everything secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money goes through paypal but just nice to assure people that thier addresses are safe.Cheers for what you've said. I'll look into it, see how cheaply I can obtain a certificate.

MadManMike Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Or people should just realise that people can get your details very easily using other methods.HTTPS is great, but people can get your details from elsewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexx Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 HTTPS is great, but people can get your details from elsewhere!yeah, but the difference being that it's no longer the website fault. As a webmaster It's only my problem if the details come off my server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
