What is a secure certificate?

A Secure Certificate is used to transmit sensative information via the Internet. It is a secure connection between the website you are connected to and the visitors computer. The visitor's information is encrpted while being transmitted via the Internet.

You will notice in the browser two things that indicate you are in a secure environment.
1)  You will see a lock on your browswer.
2)  You will see an "s" in the website address.  (https://www.domain.com)


How do I get my own Secure Certificate?

Secure Certificates are issued by two companies:
Verisign    $350 per year
Thawte     $125 per year

Both Certificate Companies do the same thing and are both reputable companies. iSun Media prefers the Thawte Certificate, however we can aid you in obtaining either one.
iSun Media will obtain the certificate for you as there is information we need to provide the certificate company.

Your certificate will look like this:

Some information you will need to provide the certificate company will be:
     Business Registration Info from your State of Incorporation
     Proof of your Business Address
     Plus a few other details
     (We will notify you of what is needed during the registration process)

Our Setup fee for the above is:  $60
