Providing Secure Transactions

If you want to provide secure transactions on your server, you should set up Secure

Sockets Layer (SSL) protection. SSL lets you send encrypted, authenticated information

across the Internet. If you want to allow credit card transactions through your website,

for example, you can use SSL to protect the information that’s passed to and from your

site.

Important: You can’t use the performance cache for a website if SSL is enabled for that

site. See “Understanding the Effect of Using a Web Service Performance Cache” on

page 37 for more information.

For instructions on how to set up secure transactions, see “Enabling SSL” on page 50.

Setting Up Websites

Before you can host a website, you must:

• Register your domain name with a domain name authority

• Create a folder for your website on the server

• Create a default page in the folder for users to see when they connect

• Verify that DNS is properly configured if you want clients to access your website by

name

When you are ready to publish, or enable, your site, you can do this using Server

Admin. The Sites pane in the Settings window lets you add a new site and select a

variety of settings for each site you host.

See Chapter 3, “Managing Websites,” on page 33 for more information.

Hosting More Than One Website

You can host more than one website simultaneously on your web server. Depending

on how you configure your sites, they may share the same domain name, IP address, or

port. The unique combination of domain name, IP address, and port identifies each

separate site. Your domain names must be registered with a domain name authority

such as InterNIC. Otherwise, the website associated with the domain won’t be visible

on the Internet. (There is a fee for each additional name you register.)

If you configure websites using multiple domain names and one IP address, older

browsers that do not support HTTP 1.1 or later (that don’t include the “Host” request

header), will not be able to access your sites. This is an issue only with software

released prior to 1997 and does not affect modern browsers. If you think your users will

be using very old browser software, you’ll need to configure your sites with one

domain name per IP address.

See “Managing Multiple Sites on One Server” for more about multiple sites.
