When a customer visit your web site with the intent of making an online purchase or to send sensitive information, they will want to know that their personal details cannot be read by any third party, such as a malicious hacker. To help prevent any intrusion and to keep your customer's personal details secure you should buy a web server certificate either from your web hosting provider or one of the companies listed below. InterWeb Design can provide you with a shared web server certificate for your web hosting account.

Web server certificates provide evidence to cautious customers that your online business is indeed real and secure. With confidence your customers can submit and send their credit card numbers or other personal details to your web site, knowing it can not be intercepted or decrypted by anyone other than you, the intended recipient.
