Now that I am beginning to expand somewhat, I am looking into SSL's. I dont know too much about them, all I know is they encrypt data. Currently I use Client Exec and only accept paypal, Is there really anything that needs encrytion? Would you recommend getting one?

i'm also just started with ClientExec.

to be fair, PayPal on its own already have secured pages. However, I think it would be more professional to have SSL on ClientExec, showing to clients that the host is handling and treating clients information with care?

for myself, I will install a SSL cert when i have everything else nicely set up and the budget permits.

just one my cent.

Edit: Mind If I ask what your company is = D ?

Cheers.

My website is not yet finished and barely naked to customer eyes. Will let you know once it is done. :D

I think you should, for reasons that Marty has said, also many clients will not sign up with your if your pages are not secure.

Your customer management area (clientexec pages) should be encrypted. It is sensitive customer information, and you owe it to your customers to at least give them the impression of security. :)

You can pick up a one-year rapidssl.com certificate for about $15 from many resellers.

It's worth it, specially @ $15/year. I get mine from The Planet. Infact I have 7 of'm... But you can never have to many, IMO.
