Secure Server


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.

Shared SSL Server

The following example shows how to use the shared SSL server provided by BrioHost. :
https://xxx.dnsprotect.net/yourdomain.com/sslpage.html

The above page would be accessed from the normal web server as:
http://yourdomain.com/sslpage.html

Using formmail.cgi through secure server

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

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="https://secureservername.com/yourdomain.com/cgi-sys/formmail.pl">
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="emailaccount@yourdomain.com">
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Order">
<input type=hidden name="return_link_URL" value="https://secureservername.com/yourdomain.com/yourpage.html">
<input type=hidden name="return_link_title" value="https://secureservername.com/yourdomain.com/yourpage.html">
</FORM>
If you are unsure of what your shared SSL server is please login to your control center or email support@briohost.com.
