Hello everybody, I want to have my own business on the web, like I find so many these days making good money online. I plan to set up an online store that will be dealing in sale of computer accessories and will later on expand my reach if I find some good profits in that. So, what are the important points to keep in mind while doing this? Waiting for your replies……

This is a very good step in my opinion. You just need to make sure that the pre-requisitions for the website are met and when you are planning to have an online shop it is necessary that you decide the payment option. Either you can, have a third party like paypal handle all the payments or you can have your own payment system. If there is paypal then it would not be a concern, but if your site has its own payment system, then you need to purchase a SSL certificate that will secure the information submitted by the customer to your site. <SNIP>

Coleman is right. You really need SSL certificate for your site just to secure the information submitted.

I too agree with that. Its very important for an ecommerce website that the information submitted by the user or customer should be secured. We cannot deny the fact that information can be hacked.

So, the SSL certificate is the right choice to secures the information sent by the customer thru browser to the merchant.

Yeah, SSL certificate is important if the site involves financial transactions.Secured Sockets Layer ( SSL ) is a protocol that transmits your communications over the Internet in an encrypted form. SSL ensures that the information is sent, unchanged, only to the server you intended to send it to. Online shopping sites frequently use SSL technology to safeguard your credit card information.
The TLS manager gives you the ability to generate SSL certificates, keys and signing requests; each of these three are essential parts of using SSL to secure and protect your website. It allows you to encrypt sensitive information like credit card numbers, logins, CVV number etc. SSL’s are generally used to secure areas like shopping section, login areas and other pages where you want the data to be encrypted and locked while being exchanged over the internet.
