Going online with a new site – SSL Certificate issue!!!

[Jazzmarina]

Hi everyone, I have plans of introducing a website so that I can start my online business. The site will be dealing in computer accessories and all the hardware stuff that is related to the computer field with an online purchase facility. But, before that I would like to know the pre-requisites that are needed to run a website of your own that has an online payment option, as I was informed about the SSL certificate issues by my developer and would like to know more on this from you people.

What Temi said is correct. You need to make sure your host installs as SSL cert for any transaction processing over a dedicated IP.

Let me know if you need any more info.
