Hi
Im back with one of my questions....
My site is nearly done,, but one of the last things I want to add to my site is a shop component like VM and a jobs submission form ( custom built) that takes credit card info, paypal, etc etc...
I have never delt with these things before and I am on the fast track to learn
so I start here;
Question, if I have my site is at > www.domain.com < without SSL do I then use a subdomain with security that my shoppers are sent to from my main domain?? in other words do I install VM in a subdomain using the same Database as my main site?
or
should SSL / htps be applied to my main site and can just the cart page at checkout be secured with these services??
am I making any sense ? or do I really need to go learn a lot more before I ask questions
thanks fellow Joo-roos!!

- Normally you activate SSL which is mapped to the primary domain. In VM there is a setting for the secure server, which is used once the checkout process starts.

Additionally, many of the SEF extensions make it easy to specify which parts of your site should be SSL and which should not be.
I would normally have users surf in the clear until they get to the checkout process, but there are other opinions. - www.gofftech.com Web Design
