SSL Encryption - What is it?SSL Encryption is the method used by websites and web browsers to send data securely
from your machine "the client" to the website "the server".
This process is done by adding a special 128BIT encryption key to the web server,
that encrypts all traffic going too and from the site with a 128BIT encryption algorithm,
which for those that cant remember their math, is a VERY VERY large number.
YDC Hosting uses a GeoTrust Basic SSL 128BIT SSL Certificate for its ordering online
ordering pages to ensure your personal and financial details are kept secure from prying eyes
You will see the secure connection box appear and a lock icon or unbroken key will be evident
in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.

So, how do you get SSL encryption too?YDC Hosting offers 2 ways for you to secure your website. You can piggyback your secured
pages off our SSL Certificate (Shared SSL), where the user will be re-directed away from your
domain to a URL like
https://secure.ydchosting.com.au/yourdomain/yourpages.asp
or we can arrange a dedicated SSL certificate for you, so your visitors will be able to stay
within your domain.
