WHAT IS DOMAIN SQUATTING?
You've got the perfect idea for a website. You spend months planning and designing the site until you finally decide to go ahead and register the domain name - only to

We are bombarded with these and similar messages almost everywhere

we ignore them as just a part of daily life - especially when these messages are coming from antivirus companies advertising in the middle of all the free

SSL CERTIFICATES - SECURE SOCKET LAYER & TRANSPORT LAYER SECURITY (SSL & TLS)
SSL (and its successor, TLS) is a process that enables websites to exchange secure, encrypted information across the internet. The encryption

the way you can make sure people trust your website.
