    I need to make a web site secure for the BBB. Can someone point me to an article or give me instructions on what I need to do to make my site secure? The site has a form on it that needs to be secure. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You should obtain a Secure Socket Layer from your webhost $$$

    You can also use Verisign services for another layer of security and verification.

    If you store personal information you will need to restrict access to that file online.

    I understand how to handle the SSL certificate, it's more of how to implement in into the site. If I have a form on a page, do I just simply place it in the Secure folder of the site?

    I believe that is correct.

    But I would ask the webhost for further assurance.
