Although the risks of sending sensitive information (such as credit card details) over the Internet are often exaggerated, they are not zero. A secure server works together with the visitor's browser, using data encryption techniques (known as SSL) to help ensure that even if someone is trying to get at that information, they will be unable to read it.

Consequently, many visitors to Web sites prefer to be able to submit their information via a secure server rather than an ordinary one. To help you provide this capability for your own Web site, we offer the following optional services:

Secure submission for your forms, using forms from your own HTML directory on our secure server
Encryption of emails sent to you from the site (after all, there is limited point in protecting the visitor's form submission if the site is then going to forward it to you in a "plaintext" email)
Credit card validation service, which will ensure that credit card details provided by the visitor have a valid card number and expiry date.
Online transaction processing service, where the card details will not only be validated, but also checked with an online service to ensure it is not stolen or faked. This can be extended to carrying out the transaction itself, depositing the funds in a US bank account.
