Spinning A Web Mentality

Paying the piper

Perhaps the one factor precluding the Web from becoming as popular a vehicle to actually buy product as it is to browse, is the method of payment—more specifically, how to conduct business in a secure manner.

When establishing a Web site, an important aspect to discuss with the Internet Service Provider that hosts your Web site is the issue of security. This holds particularly true if you intend to sell product or services on-line. If you maintain your own site, don't take the perception of credit card fraud on the Internet lightly. While an increasing number of people consider an electronic transaction no more unsafe then giving a telemarketer or a restaurant waiter their Visa card, Web experts contend it can be risky to order a product or service from a Web site. The best advice is to investigate and choose the right security application for your needs.
