Checkouts … Security: Your Web Host is the Key

by Loren Allen

When a website is setup the page in which the most emphasis should be given is the checkout page. This is basically your sales pitch page and where money is put in the bank. Isn’t this the whole purpose behind a website, to promote sales and put money in your bank account? However, you don’t want to be over aggressive with your sales page because it could cause disinterest in potential buyers.

According to the latest research out of every 10 buyers who visit the website only seven buyers end up in buying. The main reason behind this mismatch is the problem with the site’s check out page. The reason for such problem with check out page can be because of two reasons one may be the way it appears or looks to customer and Second reason is the difficulty in maneuvering the web page; that means webpage is not customer friendly or have some security pitfalls.

The above mentioned issues are a serious concern for businesses and will definitely make or break your success in online business. Therefore, it will become required of you to seek the help of a professional web designer or webhosting company or question the intentions of the one that you have about checkout solutions. You can begin by negotiating the price in order to obtain a good deal. Plus it wouldn’t hurt to check out the security situation in which your web hosting company is using.

The first thing that your web host can offer your customers is numerous paying options such as Pay-pal, electronic bank transfer and so forth. The transaction should be completed in a jiffy without waiting long. The instructions given should be absolutely clear and lucid. The security offered must be encryption and state of art. You must ensure that your customer find the whole checkout experience to be delightful so that they come back to your website often enough.

When viewing things from a commercial perspective, the checkout department of your website will ultimately determine the success of your website and/or business and it’s the responsibility of your webhosting entity to enhance your site and improve the appearance of it. There’s a great deal of information being stored on your server and plenty of it will be confidential and sensitive information that deserves to be protected. Your customers need to be certain that their information will be secured and your webhosting company must be capable of providing this. They should provide a number of security accesses for the purpose of warding off intruders and hackers; not to mention, malicious viruses.

Last but not least web hosting provider company must be capable to protect you from the system downtime. If system downtime happens very frequently and just when your customer is at the checkout page finalizing his purchase then he/she might feel to go to some reliable and more trustworthy website. You must choose such web site hosting provider that can provide you sustained and consistent services all time. This is the only way to keep your customer with you and to make money.
