Ok, I was hoping to avoid that annoying dialog that would keep coming up with this dire warnings about the certificate not being signed and this could potentially blow up my computer. Still, it is a small price to pay for securing passwords and email, and sure is better than $400. Is it possible, if a user is logged in automatically, for tuser to only accept the dialog once (the first login)? 


Have a great day,
Alex

it's quite expensive, like $400 last I checked I think, possibly 
more.
and none that I know of, ssl is the encrypted form of http, but 
you don't

need to get it signed if it's not professional.

Hmmm... How much is it to sign, and is there a way of doing it 
with no
certificate? Sorry for the basic questions, but I took a web 
programming
course last semester that did a lot, but nothing on security. I 
was
interested in web development stuff before that course but I 
just never

got around to looking up security and encryption.



Have a great day,
Alex

you won't need to sign it then, but you'll always have to accept

the cert if

it's not signed.

No, just for my own use and, possibly, several other users, but

I can

definitely say not more than 50 users, most likely not even a

quarter of

that.



Have a great day,
Alex

a lot of it is just pop, yes.
There are also servers that just send email to mysql databases.
SSL is free, it's configured at the server level--you'll have to

check with

your host.
You can generate your own certificate, but it does cost to get it

signed.

If your using this professionally, you'll probably want to get it

signed.

You may not know, but is SSL free? How can I set this up; is it

something

you install on the server, something you run (like phpbb), or

something

you sign up for and route your traffic through?
I did not know php had pop functions; is that all they do for

web-based

email sites? That is so much easier than I thought it would be!

Thanks for

the help.



Have a great day,
Alex

In order to encrypt you will need to use SSL.  In order to access

the

account, you can use php's pop functions.

I would like to have a web-based mail viewer for myself.  How is

this done?

For example, how do sites like mail2web.com do it? Also, how

could I secure

the information going back and forth? I am using an account on
ipowerweb.com for my server, btw.



Have a great day,
Alex
