dsaunier Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Title says it all, we do not plan to install SSL on our site however I saw a line in the client site telling them the session was secure etc. I could not find any trace of that in the templates - how can I remove that line ?

chickendippers Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 You really should, you might loose customers. I for one would never do any business online if the order process wasn't secure. If you're determined to remove it, check out the lang file for "ordersecure" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberhost Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Users are becoming more savvy as well as security conscience every day. An SSL cert should be employed for even storing customer names and addresses! Really, for under $20 yearly, SSL certs are a wise investment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaunier Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 You're probably right on a psychological point of view so I may add one to that site too, however most of the data involved in registering a domain is then transmitted unencrypted to registrars, or even ends up in clear text in public databases, so there no real technical need for SSL in such a site - whereas I've been having certificates for years on our other sites that handle sensitive data. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianoz Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 <Aside> Of course, SSL actually provides almost no extra security (since the vulernabilities these days lie at the end of the communication path, not the middle, since the advent of switches providing virtual switched circuits which are effectively private). But as in real life, it's all about appearances ... </Aside> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uberhost Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 ServerTastic's highest price on the RapidSSL is just $12.95 a year, or as twilightwebdesign said, as cheap as $10 (5 years). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 RapidSSL is just $12.95 a year Internet users are slowly getting educated, and coming to the conclusion that these cheap SSl certificates are just as worthless as not having one - "domain" certificates should not be used for "ecommerce" encryption ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry mate, but I cannot agree with you that cheap SSL certs are just as worthless as not having one (unless by "ecommerce" you specifically mean businesses with a seven-figure online revenue). If we are talking about 128/256 bit single-root certificates, it is the same encryption for a cheap certificate as it is for an expensive one. Even a self-signed certificate uses the same encryption, but it has no trustworthiness with browsers, so should be avoided for ecommerce use. For $12.95 you can get a 128/256 bit single root RapidSSL cert with a $10,000 guarantee and recognition by 99% of the browsers out there.
