SSL Security and your site
Calling pages or forms securely is an important step in collecting information in a confidential,
private manner. "SSL" (secure socket layer) security is a safe, secure method of Internet
transmission, and you can use what is called a "shared path" to call your pages and scripts securely.
There's no charge for this capability, and it's easy to do!
How to use the shared Secure Server
All you have to do in order to call your file securely using our Secure Server is to
create your file as you would normally but call it using the following secure address: https://SturdyLinkHosting.com/~yourusername/yourfile.html
Note: Be sure to include the "s" in https, and do not include the
.com (etc.) or the www. in your domain name of this URL.
Yourfile.html should be in your public_html directory. If you want to call a file in a
directory below your public_html directory, just make the necessary changes to the address...
https://SturdyLinkHosting.com/~yourusername/subdirectory/yourfile.html
Secure scripts
Calling scripts securely is done in the same fashion - use "cgi-bin" for the subdirectory.
