Howdy Christopher,
SSL certificates are issued to a specific URL. If you try
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="https://amazon.com" target="_blank">https://amazon.com</a> you'll notice a yellow exclamation mark. Amazon trimmed
their costs and only bought a certificate for <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.amazon.com." target="_blank">www.amazon.com.</a>
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="https://bizycart.com" target="_blank">https://bizycart.com</a> and <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="https://www.bizycart.com" target="_blank">https://www.bizycart.com</a> are covered with separate
certs.
When you install an SSL cert, it will apply to your entire web site. If
most of your links use "www.", make sure that's what you order.
Check your hosting assets. You may have to pay extra to have SSL enabled.
If you are properly hosted, you should be able to install it yourself.
Folks using BIZyCart don't have to worry about paying extra for SSL and it
only goes into action when credit card information is required.
Please don't waste money on Verisign or Thawte. Drop by <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://geotrust.com" target="_blank">http://geotrust.com</a>
and pick up one of their QuickSSL certificates. It will cost less, takes
about fifteen minutes from start to finish, and it works exactly like the
overpriced alternatives.
Thanks, Chris <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bizynet.com" target="_blank">http://www.bizynet.com</a>
