How does a secure Webpage work?

You create the Webpage, host it on your Web server and reference it from a secure server. The customer enters their information onto the secure Webpage and presses submit. The information is then encrypted between their computer and the Web server. What happens to it now is your decision, however most customers choose to email it to themselves.

Location of secure pages on the server

Place the pages that you would like to view securely in the /secure folder in your document root (ie assuming the Webpage is called "order.html", then place it at www.domain.com/secure/order.html). Ensure that all graphical content is also placed into the secure directory appropriately. e.g. any include files, or any frames and/or images.

Linking to the pages securely

Create a link from your pages to the secure location of your order page as follows:

https://secure.netregistry.net/domain.com/order.html

i.e.: http://www.domain.com/secure/order.html is equal to

https://secure.netregistry.net/domain.com/order.html in secure mode.

NOTE:

1. Make sure you reference https, not http.
2. Do not write "www.domain.com", instead of "domain.com"
3. "domain.com" should be replaced by the real value of your domain name.
4. Do not use "https://www.secure.netregistry.net/....., but rather https://secure.netregistry.net/....
