SSL, HTTPS, and your budget.
For folks that are involved in IT Budgeting I’ve got to lend a little advice about purchasing SSL certificates. These days most websites require SSL functionality. When purchasing a certificate be sure to not purchase it for only a single year. The pricing of SSL isn’t expensive in 2008, and the time required to install these certificates can be rather grandiose. Thus, make sure you at least purchase a two year certificate. One year flies by faster than you can imagine and the cost of installation is much greater than the cost of the certificate. Invest in your business, buy long term and thank me later.
