A quick guide to SSL certificates

The SSL certificate is a certification that guarantees the viewer of your website that information transacted through your website is secure. It is a sign that the appropriate data security measures have been installed on the website. The data encryption service ensures that the information you send through the website is transmitted in a form that is unreadable by traditional methods. Should anyone gain access to this information, through whichever means, will be unable to understand the information accessed.
 
The most common form of the SSL certificate is that used for two key systems. These systems have a set of keys that perform either encryption or decryption functions on the data. The encryption key is installed onto the website, and it locks down any data that the user transmits through this portal. At the server end, the website owner has a second key that decrypts the data and allows them access. The certificate is particularly useful for websites that perform e-commerce.

Information on the WHOIS lookup

The WHOIS lookup tool is a tool that connects to the WHOIS servers. These servers store information on the identity and personal details of the owner of the domain name, i.e. the person who has registered it, for a website. These tools allow you to access the information provided that it has been stored in a publicly accessible format. The protocol that powers the tool is a command that queries the servers based on the details you are looking for. If you do not want your information to be publicly accessible, it is now possible for you to purchase a privacy tool which locks your information away from prying eyes.
 
The WHOIS lookup tool connects to the servers on a regional basis. This means that for you to find the information you are looking for, you have to run the protocol on the correct regional server. The information provided by the tool is details such as; the names of the registrar who registered the domain name, the name of the person who did the registration, contact details and personal address of the person who did the registration, and related attributes. It is also possible for you to use the tool to find out about the other domain names the person has registered. This can also help in knowing your competitors.

Why you need an online presence and how to get it fast

Business today has come out of stores and spilled all over the internet. Bookstores, gift shops, even grandma’s pastries have an online presence. And for good measure too. With a vast and growing community of internet users, there’s nothing like a neat and attractive website to reaffirm your space and drive home the customers. Studies have shown that small businesses with websites are likely to attract 57% more customers. And we’re not even counting in eCommerce yet. Sooner or later, there probably will come a time when most physical stores are outdated, and shopping only happens through your internet connection. So with that much of a buzz over websites, its time, you got one too.

But how?
Option 1, you could hire a professional. Get yourself a nice, classy, sleek website. But hey, that means paying up a truckload, and you’re a small business. Not a particularly viable option there. So here’s an alternative. A website builder. Website builders, if used well, can become a fast, easy and inexpensive way to get yourself up on the internet. A website builder essentially provides all the tools you need to build a website. Everything is made simple, and drag and drop is the keyword. You can pick from millions of website design templates, and customize them to suit your needs. Add images and graphics, write up a few product descriptions, and presto, you’re all set.

Considerations to be kept in mind when choosing a website builder: 

Design, design
Website design is super important. This is the face of your business, and the first impression is often the last. So you need to choose a website builder that offers designs to suit your needs. If you’re a party planner, your website needs to be fun and colourful. If you’re a finance consultant, your website design must reflect the same and be extremely professional in the layout and design part. In a nutshell, the design has to reflect the essence of your business.

Simplicity
You do not need to be a web designer. You need things simple. WYSIWYG(What you see is what you get) is buzzword. So choose an interface that reflects this. You want something that can do lots of drag and drop, icons and push buttons. Most of them also offer great menus to choose from, and the result is beautiful! They provide simple tools to create simple to use, outstanding websites as a foundation of online communication with your users.

Ecommerce?
Well if you can deliver your product, you probably want to do business online. And that means your website builder needs to have a strong ecommerce support mechanism. Setting up the portal should be easy for you, and shopping should be fun for your customers. Most current website builders come with complete ecommerce support.

Website builders can make going online fast, easy and fun. Go ahead, play around and explore your options. With all the help that website builders give you, there’s no point waiting. Get a website, make your online presence felt, and push your sales through the roof!
