What is QuickSSL?
QuickSSL is a web server certificate that allows consumers and web sites to conduct safe e-commerce with encrypted SSL connections. QuickSSL web server certificates are compatible with 99% of all browsers.
What is SSL?
The SSL (secure socket layer) protocol is the web standard for encrypting communications between users and web sites. Data sent via an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data. SSL provides businesses and consumers with the confidence that private data sent to a web site, such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential. Web server certificates are required to initialize an SSL session.
Why are QuickSSL web server certificates so inexpensive?
Historically, most SSL certificates cost $350 or more, but GeoTrust has developed fully automated systems to verify that a certificate purchaser has appropriate administrative rights to a web server's domain. This greatly lowers our costs for issuing QuickSSL certificates, and we pass those savings on to you. With QuickSSL, you can assure your customers that their transactions and information are secure on the Internet without having to pay an unreasonable price.
Do you accept payment in € Euros?
At present we only accept payment in US Dollars. For convenience when you are purchasing we display as a guide the approximate cost of the product in Euros as well as in US Dollars. Please note that the Euro display is only an approximate guide and may vary based on current exchange rates. All sales are made in US Dollars.
Do I pay VAT?
No. You are billed in US Dollars and you will not pay VAT. You will only pay the price that you see displayed, there are no hidden costs such as sales tax or European / UK VAT.
What web browser programs are compatible with QuickSSL?
QuickSSL is compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer® 5.01 and higher and Netscape/AOL web browsers version 4.51 and higher, comprising an estimated 99% or more of all web browsers in use today. All other commonly used browsers may connect securely with web servers using QuickSSL certificates.
