YES! Our servers are
equipped with the latest SSL technology so your customers can safely

potentially intercept the information sent from your browser and
read it.
By using the secure server (SSL), the information is encrypted
before it is sent. You DO NOT have to buy a security certificate to
enable the secure server - you can use ours FREE of charge. We will
provide you with the name of the server when your account is
activated!
