HTML Help

This is a particular way of formatting a file to properly display your web site. It is an ever-evolving protocol. In order to begin your web site, you must have at least this basic skill. You can find some online tutorials at these web sites:

NCSA Beginners's Guide to HTML - A good tutorial on the basics of HTML

The Barebones Guide to HTML - If you are familiar with HTML, this site is good for brushing up on the code.

FTP File Transfer Protocol

This is how you send and receive files via the Internet. You will need a FTP client such as WS FTP or Cute FTP

ASP Active Server Pages

When you want your web site to do more than just display static HTML pages, you need some method of controlling content actively , such as the ability to produce HTML on the fly based on a users input. You've seen this thousands of times on search engines -- you type in a keyword and you get back some links pertaining to the word(s) you type in. ASP is server side scripting, unlike Java Script that runs on the client (web browser). The two main advantages to ASP are (1) the ability to store data retrieved via a form and (2) that special browsers are not required. A unique property of ASP, as opposed to PERL, is that ASP is written in the HTML page itself, allowing for more logical and friendly scripting environment.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

By now you are probably aware of security concerns when it comes to purchasing products and services over the internet.

SSL is how we encrypt our transmissions to ensure the highest security levels when performing order processing via the web. In order to activate SSL on your web site, you need an SSL key and a verifiable Certificate from one the the CA's on the web. If you are planning on using an order form on your site, we know from experience that employing SSL decreases the percentage of surfers that don't purchase by nearly 10:1. So, if you are serious about selling on the web, consider SSL.

Current Certificate rates are published online via the common Certificate Authorities (CA). Here's some more information: VeriSign , Thawte.

We will generate your public/private key pair and install your certificate.
At that point, merely use
https://www.yoursite.com instead of http://www.yoursite.com

* Use of SSL certificate requires your own domain name
