According to identity theft protection services provider\u00a0Lifelock, research confirms that one in four people have experienced identity theft. When you build a website for your e-commerce site, you have to take rigorous steps to protect your company and the data that you collect from customers.<br \/>\nDefending yourself against malicious code designed to damage your hardware or software and cyberthieves who are looking for data to sell on the black market is challenging. It\u2019s hard to know where to start, but one thing every e-commerce business can do to protect their clients is to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/discoverofsolutions.in\/digital-certificate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What is an SSL Certificate?<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"clear-block\">\n<div id=\"toc\">\u00a0An SSL Certificate is a digitally signed certificate that establishes the identity of a website and uses encryption to send data to the website.\u00a0The certificate is issued by a trusted authority known as a Certificate Authority (CA) and typically contains information like the Owner&#8217;s name, Name of an issuer, \u00a0the certificate holder&#8217;s public key, and an expiration date.<\/div>\n<div class=\"node\">\n<div class=\"content\">SSL Certificates are generally used when a website wants to accept sensitive information like passwords, credit card details, and other sensitive information.<br \/>\nYou can view a website&#8217;s SSL Certificate by clicking on the lock icon in the address bar of a browser.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3283\" src=\"http:\/\/mydiscover.net.in\/sms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/comodo-ssl.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"923\" height=\"238\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mydiscover.supersite2.myorderbox.com\/digital-certificate\">Types of SSL Certificates.<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Discover of Solutions offers the following types of certificates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Comodo SSL<\/li>\n<li>Positive SSL<\/li>\n<li>Positive SSL Wildcard<\/li>\n<li>EV SSL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Comodo SSL and Positive SSL provide security for one Domain Name and is best suited for small websites and blogs. Positive SSL Wildcard provides security for the primary Domain Name as well as its sub-domains, and is best suited for large e-commerce websites.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"kb-article-title\">Why is it beneficial to have a dedicated IP address?<\/h1>\n<p>When it comes to hosting a website on a shared server, there is always quite a common controversial issue: Is it necessary to have a dedicated IP address for your website and why, if you just can use a shared one? Using a dedicated IP address provides certain crucial advantages, but let\u2019s start with the definition first.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mydiscover.supersite2.myorderbox.com\/digital-certificate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>What is a Dedicated IP Address?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">IP stands for Internet Protocol and is defined as a unique address assigned to each computer that is connected to a certain network.\u00a0Internet Protocol address\u00a0plays the role of a unique identifier that is used to provide the valid location of a machine or a website in a given network.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><b>What is the difference between a Shared and Dedicated IP address?<\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The difference between shared and dedicated IP addresses is quite simple. A shared IP address is a single address used by multiple websites within one web server. In this case, the web server should do some extra work, parsing the user\u2019s request to the correct website. Having a Dedicated IP address means that the website has its very own address, and you can use either this IP address or the domain name of your website to access it from the web.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/discoverofsolutions.in\/digital-certificate\">Read More&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Enable HTTPS For Your Website Today!<\/h3>\n<p>Google Chrome to display a &#8216;NOT SECURE&#8217; warning on<br \/>\nwebsites without an SSL certificate.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/discoverofsolutions.in\/digital-certificate\">Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"main-title\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3285\" src=\"http:\/\/mydiscover.net.in\/sms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/ssl-certificates.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"341\" height=\"248\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mydiscover.supersite2.myorderbox.com\/digital-certificate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Comparison of SSL Certificates<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>Our\u00a0<span class=\"bold\">SSL Certificate<\/span>\u00a0portfolio meets a diverse range of business needs and budgets while offering the highest levels of trust and security.<br \/>\nUse the chart below to\u00a0<b>Compare SSL Certificate<\/b>\u00a0offerings and find the certificate which best suits your needs<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mydiscover.supersite2.myorderbox.com\/digital-certificate\">Read More&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Internet of Things\u00a0has changed the way businesses and consumers think about security.
