ValueWeb Thawte Control Page

ValueWeb Thawte Control PageServer certificates are used to provide secure, encrypted transactions between Web browsers and websites, authenticating your identity to your customers, and giving them the confidence to send credit card and other personal information to your server. Websites using ValueWeb's secure certificate have all of the advantages of secure encryption, but not authentication. Your customers will receive a warning message stating that your URL does not match the name on the certificate. For this reason, we suggest that you purchase your own secure certificate.
