You got Sensitive information on your website, try using an SSL

Ever seen a green lock icon in your tab? Ever wondered why some websites begin with http and others with https? There you have it. That's your SSL encryption right in front of you.

Simply put, SSL (Secured Sockets layer) is a protocol developed for transmitting private documents through the internet. It was developed by Netscape to use a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data. One, a public key known to everyone and the other, a secret key known only to the recipient of the message.

How it Works

When a Web browser tries to connect to a website using SSL, the browser will first request the web server identify itself. This prompts the web server to send the browser a copy of the SSL Certificate. The browser checks to see if the SSL Certificate is trusted -- if the SSL Certificate is trusted, then the browser sends a message to the Web server. The server then responds to the browser with a digitally signed acknowledgement to start an SSLencrypted session. This allows encrypted data to be shared between the browser and the server. You may notice that your browsing session now starts with https (and not http).

So the next time you have your website designer build you a website, you could also add SSL encryption to the list of items to be paid for. It is very affordable and remember, you can only be as safe as it gets.

Getting an SSL Certificate ... 

There is the wrong way and the right way to acquiring an SSL Certificate.

Right way: Buy from a Certified Vendor

Wrong way: Self sign your own Certificate, That is, using any number of different tools (both open source and proprietary) you can actually sign your own SSL certificate and save the time and expense of going through a certificate vendor.

Technically speaking, the data may be encrypted, but there still is a fundamental problem with self-signing that defeats part of the purpose of having an SSL certificate in the first place. Self-signing a certificate is like issuing yourself a driver's license. Roads are safer because governments issue licenses. Making sure those roads are safe is the role of the certificate authorities. Certificate authorities make sure the site is legitimate.

Self-Signed certificates will trigger a warning window in most browser configurations that will indicate that the certificate was not recognized. VeriSign admits that there are a lot of people that will click through anyway just like there are a lot of people that will click through an expired SSL certificate as well.

A site that conveys trust is also more likely to be a site that makes (more) money. There is research that suggests that having a recognizable SSL certificate may, in fact, have a direct correlation to increased e-commerce sales. 

Why should I care?

Here’s why.. There is nothing as too much information.

If you are in business, then you would have realized every information is critical. Why do you think people visit a website? It’s primarily to find information. And if you’re in the business world, information is critical. You need to have a website for your customers. It needs to contain information about what you can do for them. Greater percentage of people trust businesses more with websites than those without any. Here are some reasons as to why you need your business face online.

Credibility

A website gives you the opportunity to prove your credibility. You have to tell your customers why you deserve their trust through your website. This can earn positive feedback for your service and products. Also, your website serves as a place for a potential investor to explore what your business is about and what it can do in the future.

For instance, a lot of businesses are not aware they are searched out online by their competitors to prove how credible their organization. You can see it as a litmus test for businesses to first go online to validate how much of a threat you are to their business especially in a case of Tenders, RFP’s and Expression of Interests (EOI)

Well, you don’t have to close the doors of your website.  An online site can be visited anytime of the day or night. People will look to your site instead of going to your shop because it is more accessible. Just make sure to post enough information about your products and services.

You cant' find your .com, try the new TLD extensions: Know their importance

A TLD identifies something about the website associated with it, such as its purpose, the organization that owns it or the geographical area where it originates.

ICANN identifies the following categories of TLDs:

a) Country-code top-level domains (ccTLD) -- Each ccTLD identifies a particular country and is two letters long. The ccTLD for the United States, for example, is .us

b) Infrastructure top-level domain -- There is only one TLD in this group, ARPA (Address and Routing Parameter Area). The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) manages this TLD for the IETF.

c) Sponsored top-level domains (sTLD): These are overseen by private organizations.

d) Generic top-level domains (gTLD) -- These are the most common and familiar TLDs. Examples include "com" for "commercial" and "edu" for "educational." Most gTLDs are open for registration by anyone, but there is also a subgroup that is more strictly controlled.

In April 2009, ICANN proposed an expansion of the TLD system to allow anyone to register and reserve any unused letter sequence as a TLD for their exclusive use. A company that sold software, for example, might like to use .soft as a TLD. According to ICANN chief executive Paul Levins, such an expansion could lead to thousands of new TLDs in the next few years.

As a brief primer, Top Level Domains are the endings to websites such as .com, .edu, .gov, etc. In the past, these were all handled by the ICANN, but in 2014, the door was opened for entrepreneurs to create their own TLDs that they can control on their own. So now, there are essentially an endless amount of TLDs. Business owners could pay to can have their site end with things like .xyz, .toys, .soy, .wed, and more. Nearly 4 million web sites around the world use one of the newly created TLD.

What Google had to say about the new TLD’s

Google's John Mueller recently reposted comments the company made earlier in 2014 to reiterate their position on TLD and search.

"It feels like it's time to reshare this again. There still is no inherent ranking advantage to using the new TLDs," Mueller wrote on Google+ before sharing a postfrom Matt Cutts on the subject. "They can perform well in search, just like any other TLD can perform well in search. They give you an opportunity to pick a name that better matches your web-presence. If you see posts claiming that early data suggests they're doing well, keep in mind that this is not due to any artificial advantage in search: you can make a fantastic website that performs well in search on any TLD."

Back then, if someone had the .com you wanted, there was nothing you can do but pay them or get a different name. Now, marketers can just move to a different TLD. The introduction of these new TLDs have created so much internet real estate, it's impractical for one person to try to lock up domains they don't intend to use.

So the next time you search for your .com domain for your business and it has been taken or simply wrapped by another user who wants to sell it for a ridiculous fee, don’t fuss about it just search for a .biz or .online or .xyz or .anything of your interest).

Remember, Google John Meuller reaffirms that they can perform well in search just like your .com TLD extension
