Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between HTTP and HTTPS?

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) are both protocols used for transferring data over the Internet. The key difference is security. HTTPS encrypts data, ensuring that the information exchanged between a user’s browser and a website is secure. HTTP, on the other hand, does not provide encryption, making it vulnerable to interception by malicious actors. For this reason, HTTPS is considered the more secure option and is commonly used for websites that handle sensitive data like login credentials and payment information.
