Secure Hosting

[JFro]

Hope I have posted this in the right place...

Our web hosts are currently charging us £300 a year for secure hosting (NOT including a HTTPS/security certificate). Everyone I have spoken to, apart from the hosts themselves, seem to think that is a bit steep! But for secure hosting, isn't it about right?

Do Actinic websites need specific secure hosting?

Thanks

Not sure what you mean by secure hosting? Actinic doesn't require anything special in that regard. An SSL certificate to secure the whole site or just the checkout area is popular with some Actinic stores because of the confidence boost it gives to shoppers. But again, this isn't necessary if you're using a PSP.
As far as the price is concerned, there are many cheaper hosts out there. Look around on this forum for some ideas, and recommendations of which hosts work well with Actinic sites.
