SSL Hosting (Secure Socket Layer)

SSL is an abbreviation for "Secure Sockets Layer". SSL is a transaction security standard that provides data encryption, server authentication, and message integrity. SSL is usually used on sites that accept credit card numbers or other private information. All WestHost hosting services support the SSL web hosting security standard and have access to the WestHost shared SSL hosting certificate for custom scripts and securing sensitive data. You can also use your own SSL hosting certificate if you'd prefer.
