The Secure Server option provides you with instructions for setting up a Secure Server through Verisign or Thawte. Verisign and Thawte are companies that provide digital certificates used for secure transactions.

Step-by-step directions are provided within the Secure Server Manager.

To set up Secure Server on your site, visit the Secure Server Option of your control panel.

Setting up a secure server requires that you purchase a secure digital certificate from either Verisign or Thawte. This is a two-step process. Follow the steps outlined in the Secure Server Manager to complete the setup.

NOTE: To test the creation and installation of a secure certificate with “dummy” data, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select the Generate a Dummy Certificate link in Step 3 of the on-screen procedure. Follow the instructions that are provided.
