[ECM1.04] Secure Server Access

A secure server (SSL) allows you to accept data securely via your website. We have activated SSL automatically for you.

It is important to understand that SSL is slower than the normal HTTP protocol, since SSL requires that the data be encrypted on the server before being transmitted to the client. Therefore, you should use SSL only when collecting sensitive data, or sending sensitive data to the visitor.

Please also note that you must link to images and files on your website using a relative link e.g. images/test.jpg rather than using an absolute link e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/images/test.jpg. Using the latter will result in a security warning.

  1. Log into your hosting control panel (http://www.extendcp.com) with the login details sent to you
  2. Under the E-commerce help section, click on Secure Server Access
  3. To access Secure Server Access : https://web115.secure-secure.co.uk/yourdomain.com/ to http://www.yourdomain.com
