Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol designed to enable encrypted, authenticated connection across the Internet. SSL is used mostly in communication between web browsers and web servers. URL's that begin with 'https' indicate that an SSL connection will be used. Online shopping sites frequently use SSL technology to safeguard credit card information. In order to use the SSL protocol you need to have an SSL certificate which is used for the server authentication, data encryption, and message integrity checks. Commercial SSL certificates are issued by official Certificate Authorities as is the case with the certificate offered by Aplus.Net.

A TrustLogo delivers your own real-time identity assurance verification to your web site visitors. The TrustLogo appears at the bottom right corner of your web pages. When clicked on, it displays in a new window your personal information specified during setup.

Here is how you can install the TrustLogo on your website using the Aplus.Net Control Panel:

Start by logging to the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration number and Customer password.
Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
Now, select the hosted domain name that you’d like to manage.
Click the Secure Server Certificate icon.
Click the Install your TrustLogo link.
You will be redirected to the TrustLogo Installation page. Right-click on the TrustLogo image and choose Save As to save the file to your local computer. Please keep the current GIF format of the image file.
Upload the TrustLogo image file to a directory of your website.

How do I upload files using the Aplus.Net Control Panel?

Go back to Step 2 of the TrustLogo Installation page to select the required JavaScript code:

Copy to clipboard the JavaScript from the first text box, if the TrustLogo is to be displayed on a STANDARD NON-SECURE page, e.g. http://
Copy to clipboard the JavaScript from the second text box, if the TrustLogo is to be displayed on a SECURE page, e.g. https://

Paste the JavaScript between the <head> and </head> HTML tags of all web pages you wish to have the TrustLogo on.

How can I edit my web files using the Aplus.Net Control Panel?

Go back to Step 3 of the TrustLogo Installation page and type in the full URL (including “http://”) of your TrustLogo image file in the respective text field. For example, if you have uploaded the TrustLogo image file to your main /html directory (or the WWWROOT directory for Windows-based plans), then the URL will be http://yourdomain.com/trustlogo.gif.
Press Enter on your keyboard. The TrustLogo image should appear on the page. If not, please ensure your TrustLogo image file has been uploaded to your hosting server and check the URL.
Select the web page location of your TrustLogo using the respective drop-down menu.
Finally, copy and paste to your web pages the code from the text box at Step 4. This code should be placed between the <body> and </body> HTML tags.
