Online shoppers decide to buy
online or share their personal information when they know they can trust
the Web site requesting it. Without proof of encryption and a trust
mark, many potential buyers will abandon their shopping carts and find
other ways to make their purchases. ISPs have the opportunity to help
merchants secure their sites and grow their profits by offering SSL
Certificates and security services.
VeriSign Shared Hosting Security Service enables
ISPs to install a single, specially-licensed SSL Certificate to share
among multiple hosted Web sites with unique authentication for each
organization. With the Shared Hosting Security Service, ISPs offer price-sensitive
merchants access to the benefits of SSL protection: encryption, authentication,
and a brand they can trust.
How Shared Hosting Security Works
Shared Hosting Security Service is offered
through the VeriSign SSL Partners Program. An ISP purchases the service
and installs the specially licensed SSL Certificate on the server hosting
the secure pages. The merchant can use the shared hosting secure pages
for encrypted transactions. VeriSign authenticates the merchant organization’s
online identity and business registration before providing the VeriSign
Secured® Seal.
To apply for the VeriSign Secured Seal, merchants
enroll through their ISPs. Once authentication is complete, an approval
email with the seal information is sent to the merchant’s organizational
contact and the ISP. The merchant posts the VeriSign Secured Seal on
its Web site.
