Log Files: Access & Error Logs, Transfer & Agent LogsSSL Secure Servers use a Digital Certificate signed by a recognized authority (currently VeriSign or Thawte) which tells the shopper's Web browser that the store is what it purports to be. The configuration of some Web hosting services requires each store to have its own Digital Certificate (at a cost of several hundred dollars per year). Others allow store owners to use the server's digital certificate. If you need a separate Digital Certificate, for an additional fee, we will interface with VeriSign and Thawte for you, saving you a considerable hassle.
Once your store appears on the Web you will have a global business. You will get orders from other countries, since many countries are not able to purchase these items locally. How will you make your site more comfortable for international customers?
