Cheers!
In this article I would like to talk about the role of SSL certificates in the HYIP investment area. Is it important for HYIP or HYIP monitor?
One of the most popular features that HYIP admins like to highlight is SSL certificate. SSL means Secure Sockets Layer - cryptographic protocols that provide communications security over the Internet. It means that all data you enter during HYIP investment on a certain website is encrypted and cannot be stolen by a third party. Usually SSL certificates use 128-bit or 256-bit encryption. How to check whether HYIP has SSL or not? You can do this by visiting a HYIP monitor where the desired program is listed or you can do this manually. Very often HYIP admins do such a trick: they claim everywhere that they have SSL (mention it in the HYIP monitors, their website and forums), but in fact don’t have SSL at all. How to check if they lie or not? Just go to the registration page. If the website has SSL certificate, you will be automatically switched to a safe mode (httpS://…). Sometimes HYIP admins forget to enable instant redirection, so to be 100% sure, type “httpS://…” manually. If your browser says it is impossible to show the page, it means that there is no SSL on this website. I think that HYIP programs that claim they have SSL but in fact don’t have it are non-trustable. Why? It means that HYIP admin wanted to save money (SSL is not free), so in case he uses Ponzi scheme and once the inflow of investors will be not enough to pay interest, he won’t be able to support program with his own money. So please pay attention to the presence of SSL! It can make your HYIP investment more safe. There are a lot of companies now that provide SSL, the most popular and trustable are Verisign and Thawte. In case high yield investment program uses the SSL from one of these companies you may expect it will stay online long. Of course it doesn’t guarantee that the admin is honest and will pay forever, but it is a big advantage!
HYIP monitor seldom use SSL certificate because it is not so necessary for HYIP monitoring. Both HYIP admins and investors don’t have to fill in their personal info if they want to apply for HYIP mionitor services. HYIP monitoring system provides all information that HYIP monitor gets from the HYIP admin. Besides it even unregistered user can list a program in the monitor, so the encryption is not necessary.
