Normally, any text(such as your credit card number) sent from your browser to the web server is sent as plain text. This means that a hacker could potentially intercept (however unlikely) the information sent from your browser and read it. Therefore, by using the secure server, the information is encrypted before it is sent from your browser. It would be practically impossible for anyone to decrypt it without knowing the key.

To call a secured page using the SSL that comes with your hosting package, use the URL:
https://host.ebuyme.com/domainname(no .com)/yourpage.htm

(make sure the yourpage.htm is in the yourdomain-secure folder in the root directory of your web-site)

 

FOR A SECURE FORM:
Go to www.yourdomain.com/menu and click on Formmail and follow the instructions for installing your formmail.

If you are calling the formmail through the secure server, your action line and other code will look like the following:

Here's an example:

<FORM action=/cgi-sys/formmail.pl method=post>
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="emailaccount@yourdomain.com">
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Order">
<input type=hidden name="return_link_url"
value="http://www.your domain.com/yourdoc.htm">
<input type=hidden name="return_link_title" value="Back to Your Page">

The last two lines allow a link back to your main page - thus they get a report of what they ordered and a link.

It's important that you call your order page through a secure URL (HTTPS) in order for it to work properly

Example:

https://secureservername/yourdomain.com/yourorderform.htm

If you need your secure server name or need your secure cgi-bin enabled please email Technical Support and we will provide you with this information.
