Online Shopping Saves you time.

Guest Post: Wang Linlin

So, what is all the hype about online shopping? It seems as if more and more people around the world are taking the do it online route everyday and you are probably wondering why? And what makes it so different from old fashion going to the mall? Well in this article I will explain to you why you should shop online and how it can benefit you.

1. Convenience.
It's the main reason why people start shopping online. It is so much easier than driving all the way to the mall spending hours going through every store, only to find out that the shoes or new high tech gadget u want was just sold out. And now you did all that driving and effort for nothing. Online shopping takes out all the effort and stress of going through that phase. All you need to do is just get on your computer,laptop etc search for a product, purchase it and have it delivered to your door step hassle free. You can Shop online anytime 24/7/365.

2. Saves you time.
There is just no faster way to get what you want than the online shopping way. You do not want to go through piles of traffic to get to your destination. You do not want to stand hours in those long check out lines, and when you finally get to the teller, the power suddenly goes out to your frustration leaving everything behind and going home empty handed when you could have used your time for more important things.

3. Saves you money.
Yes! Money pick an item at your local store and compare the price with the same item you see online. I can guarantee you that most of the time the online price will be much less than that of physical stores. Why? That`s because online is straight and forward no extra leverage costs, a minimum number of staff are present only to close sales and for support when needed. Most of the time the website does all the work for them. You can also easily compare prices by just a few clicks rather than going mall to mall wasting valuable fuel trying to find the right price.

4. Finding hard to get items.
It can be a pain sometimes to drive half way around the country trying to find that one Rare item that you always wanted to get your hands on for so long. Online you can go from England to Egypt or anywhere in the world your item might be found in just a click of a button.

5. Buying ''embarrassing'' products.
Now if you are anything like me then this will surely be a great benefit. I really do not want to be seen buying certain products that I don`t want people to know I`m using. Its just the way I feel and I believe that there are more people that feel the same way. When you purchase online its just you and the internet no physical contact whatsoever.

GeoTrust updating Intermediate Certificate Authority (CA)

Cyber SecurityThis is a follow-up article that I post last week about the Installation of GeoTrust SSL Digital Certificate. After the renewal and successfully installed of digital certificate to one of our web server I thought everything is working just fine. Just like other system administrator, I've used Microsoft Internet Explorer ver7.0, 8.0 and Chrome to test the new SSL digital certificate installation. All returned no error when I browsed the website https://timesheet.king.net as an example.

Then I received emails from other users that connection to the server is untrusted. So I start troubleshooting the issue, and I found out GeoTrust renewed their Intermediate Certificate Authority and additional action is required to fix the issue. Note. You will only see the error if you are using Windows Vista with IE 7.0 or Firefox 3.4.6.

So here's the procedure to update the GeoTrust Intermediate Certificate Authority. Go to your web server and follow this instructions.

  1. Visit www.geotrust.com website, click the Support page.
  2. In Knowledge Center Search, type ar1422, click Search
  3. Complete the two steps on your web server. For this example, we are using Microsoft IIS.
  4. Right click link and save on Download the PKCS#7 CA link, save to your local temp file.
  5. Then proceed to step two, click the For IIS to see the detailed procedures. In here, you need to complete step 2 and 3 to update the Intermediate Certificate Authority
  6. Restart the server or restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service.
  7. Now check your website again, the error is gone.
I hope this help you resolve your GeoTrust "This Connection is Untrusted" web error.
