Answers to frequent questions

• What is SSL?

  GPD Host implements SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link. Originally created by Netscape in 1992, the SSL certifies a link between a web server and a browser. In order to use the SSL protocol, a web server requires the use of an SSL certificate. This SSL secure link ensures data and private information passed between web server and browsers remains private and intact.

  SSL is an industry standard used by millions of websites to protect online transactions. To create an SSL connection, a web server requires an SSL Certificate. When you activate an SSL Certificate you will be required to verify the identity of your domain and website. In some cases, you will have to provide actual validation of your company.

  Your web server then creates Private and Public Keys. These keys are used to establish an SSL Certificate. It’s easy to take advantage of SSL security and strong encryption with GPD Host services.

• What is encryption?

  Encryption is the process of changing data into a format that can’t be deciphered. It can only be returned into a readable format with the specific and unique decryption key. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the private key provided by the originator to recipients.

  The purpose of encryption is to ensure safety. Only somebody with authorized access to data will be able to read it. They can only do this using the decryption key.

  Somebody who is not authorized will be excluded from all data and information. Without the required key it is nearly impossible to read the encrypted information.

  Encryption does not prevent interception itself, but denies the message content to the interceptor. In theory It is possible to decrypt the message without possessing the key. In order to do this, one will require a lot of computing power and a skilled expert at hacking.

  GPD Host partner providers (CA’s) take pride in offering rock solid website and domain security via SSL certificates. This tight security is generated with 256-bit encryption, where the capabilities of web browser and server are sufficient.

  The strength level of validation and encryption via SSL can vary. It is determined by the number of bits used to generate an encryption key to thereby encrypt the data. Generally, 128 bit encryption is considered sufficient, and is often considered the industry standard for data protection.

• What is an SSL Certificate?

  An SSL Certificate is a browser compatible digital certificate that validates the identity of a website. It encrypts information sent to the server using SSL technology. They are provided by authorized Certificate Authorities (CA’s).

  SSL Certificates provide encryption and validation for your domain and website. It also ensures industry standard protection against fraud and identity theft. The SSL badge can be seen as a visual trust indicator. When visitors and customers visit your website they will feel more comfortable and can trust your brand.

  When a web browser views a website with an SSL Certificate it displays a padlock icon. In some cases it may display a green address bar, depending on the type of SSL. It contains the following: certificate holder's name, certificate's serial number and expiration date. Copy of the certificate holder's public key, digital signature of the certificate issuing authority.

• What is Domain Validation?

  Domain Validated (DV) SSL certificates are the lowest price of them all. They include the address bar padlock in all major browsers. This type of SSL is great for validation and encryption for your domain and website.

  They are usually issued in 15 minutes. No paperwork is required in most cases and all options include a Website Seal of Certification trust indicator.

  Our popular DV SSL Certificates are ideal for blogs, personal websites and small business sites. They do not offer ecommerce or capture financial information.

  In addition, they often provide a “website seal” that can be included in web pages. This makes SSL more visually appealing. Your visitors will be able to see that the site is safe straight away.

  Without an SSL Certificate, the web browser will give a warning message that the web site may not be trusted. This error can also occur if it isn't signed by a trusted root certificate. In other cases, when links in the certificate chain are missing.

  Your SSL is authorized by Certificate Authorities (CAs) that are signed by a root certificate. They are already trusted universally by the most popular web browsers.
