Web Hosting News – NEW YORK - In an effort to help small businesses prepare for the onslaught of online purchases and returns this holiday season, Register.com, a leading provider of domain name registration and Web services, today launched a new Digital (SSL) Certificate product with innovative features at an affordable price to ensure small businesses and their customers that their sites are secure.

According to Gartner Research, only 1.5% of small businesses have a digital certificate for their Web site to protect customers from fraudulent transactions – a situation that lends to the fact that nearly 70 percent of online shoppers have terminated an online order because they did not “trust” the transaction. In those cases, 64 percent indicated that the presence of a trust mark would have likely prevented the termination.
