rudyten2000 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Lets say I have a simple website. And I want to add a simple shopping cart with Payment carried out by Paypal. I capture the shipping address on my site, and products. I then pass the order and shipping address to Paypal to process payment. Do I need a SSL? I am not touching any sensitive information, Unless we call name and address Sensitive. I know that the SSL Certificate LOGO provides a bit a piece of mind to many people. I am in a Shared Host. Do I need a Dedicated SSL, thus a dedicated static IP? Or is a Shared SSL good enough? Is SSL expensive? Am not even sure what a shared SSL is.. lol This is my First Stop on my way to learning a bit more about SSL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newseed Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) Do I need a SSL? I am not touching any sensitive information, Unless we call name and address Sensitive. (YES! I would not add any personal info to any site unless they have SSL) I know that the SSL Certificate LOGO provides a bit a piece of mind to many people. (A SSL logo is not enough. You need at least a 256 bit encryption.) Do I need a Dedicated SSL, thus a dedicated static IP? (Yes) Or is a Shared SSL good enough? (If you are going to handle tons of info and products along with traffic, I would suggest a dedicated server) Is SSL expensive? (It varies depending what you use. I use Comodo SSL) Am not even sure what a shared SSL is.. lol (Personally, I avoid shared SSL but that doesn't mean they are ineffective.)
