Please Note: As part of the YourVirtualStore project midairdesign has paired with E-Commerce Exchange to offer real time solutions that include credit card processing and pre-approved merchant accounts. ( Sorry this program has been discontinued and we hope to find a suitable replacement shortly).
Now, on to secure transactions.
Virtual domain accounts support SSL (Secure socket layer) secure transactions. This method allows for secure, encrypted communication between the user's web browser and your web site. SSL requires that a secure host have a "certificate" signed by a company such as Verisign or Thawte. You can obtain your own certificate if you do not want to have to use our host name in your URL. For a more in-depth explanation of the SSL process, click HERE.
First thing you will need to know is "What Server Am I On?" This information should be listed near the bottom of your setup email. If you no longer have a copy, we have placed one on your website at:
http://YOURDOMAIN.com/setup
If that page is no longer available, you will need to login to your account via telnet. Click on the word telnet for further instructions. At the telnet prompt you will see something like the following:
| www:/web/guide/YourDomainPrefix or |
| www2:/web/guide/YourDomainPrefix or |
| www3:/web/guide/YourDomainPrefix or |
| and so on..... |
Please note: "YourDomainPrefix" refers to that part of your domain name before the dot ("."). For example, if your domain name is xyz.com, then "YourDomainPrefix" would be xyz
Also note: The path of the secured server depends on which server you are on (www#). Please make sure you know what server you are on and that you follow the appropriate instructions.
If you are on nt-nt3 the URL for
the secured server would follow this format:
| https://nt#.midairdesign.com/YourDomainPrefix/YourDirectory/YourPage.html or |
| https://www#.midairdesign.com/YourDomainPrefix/YourDirectory/YourPage.html or |
| #=( your server number ) |
| So if your server number were nt3 it would read: https://nt3.midairdesign.com/yourDomainPrefix/YourDirectory/YourPage.html |
You can use this as a template for all servers listed above. If you are not on one of these servers, please read below.
If you are on servers nt4-nt5,
www1-www37,
or w101-w208 try the following:
| https://nt#.protected.hostcentric.com/YourDomainPrefix/YourDirectory/YourPage.html | or, |
| https://www#.protected.hostcentric.com/YourDomainPrefix/YourDirectory/YourPage.html | or, |
| https://w#.protected.hostcentric.com/YourDomainPrefix/YourDirectory/YourPage
#=( your server number ) So if your server number were w208 it would read: https://protected.hostcentric.com/YourDomainPrefix/YourDirectory/YourPage |
