SECURE SERVER

A secure server is 'effectively' made of two halves.  One half being the lock the other half being the key.  IBG Hosting set up one half and BT TrustWise set up the other half and supply you with a Server Certificate to authenticate your web site.  BT TrustWise will invoice you directly for their services and IBG Hosting theirs.  This is not a 'shopping cart' system.  This enables you to receive store and retrieve sensitive data securely.

More and more shoppers are discovering the convenience of buying online. As a result, e-commerce is booming - with some 300 million potential customers and £184 billion in potential sales.
But for sales to grow even more, more shoppers must feel as confident buying from a website as they do on the high street or in their offices.  They have to be sure that the website is legitimate and belongs to a trustworthy business.  They also need to know that their online communications and transactions are secure.

In fact, research shows that these are the two key reasons why people don't purchase goods and services on the Internet.  You can increase your sales - at low cost - by winning the confidence of a new customer base with a          BT TrustWise Server Certificate.

This automatically confirms that your site is legitimate by displaying the BT TrustWise seal of trust right on your website.  BT TrustWise call this "Secure Site^SM Seal" a highly-visible and easily-recognisable stamp of authenticity and security. It reassures potential customers that your site - and your business - can be trusted.

A BT TrustWise Server Certificate also delivers end-to-end transaction security so you can communicate securely with any customer using Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. A Server Certificate protects communications over the web through the industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology.
