The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer protocol) manager allows you to manage your SSL certificate and enable your site for SSL. You can create a temporary SSL certificate and private key. SSL is a standard for transmitting confidential data such as credit card numbers over the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that is transferred over the SSL connection. This is the standard minimum safe security level for true business on the Internet. The security it provides is three-fold. Firstly, the data is encrypted - which basically means that the information is jumbled up so that it can’t be read by the wrong people. Secondly, SSL provides server authentication - that is, it ensures that the server you’re communicating with is who they say they are. Finally, SSL provides data integrity, which ensures that a third party can’t modify the data along its journey. Because of the way SSL works, you can’t use SSL on shared IP. With SSL Support ON, you will be charged the applicable fees for private secure certificate that you receive.
