How I use SSL?

 

SSL is a way to encrypt traffic between server and browser. Since this traffic includes my login and password details when I login to my server and although I don't think hacking my server would not make anyone rich and me poor, I fill better knowing that the server I build I use exclusively.

 

For these reason implementation of SSL on my server is necessary. However, I do not wish to spend lots of money and am comfortable with the fact that serious hackers can still crack the expensive encryption, I and happy to deter the amateurs and installed a free SSL certificate from:

 

https://www.sslforfree.com

 

One word about this service.. while its drawback is a short 3 month life of the certificate, you can have no restrictions as to what the certificate will cover. This includes Wildcards as well as multiple domains on one certificate. This last one is normally not available through the payed SSL service since one certificate is created for one domain. However with www.sslforfree.com service I can create certificate for multiple domains and protect them all from one server IP address running the domains on separate virtual hosts with one certificate. Very significant improvment..

 

This, I suspect will create major change in the IT industry, as up till now, one had to have multiple IP addresses to host multiple domain certificates. The site www.sslforfree.com is non for profit and I even could not find a donate button.

 

Happy surfing,
