Internet Safety Tips to Safeguard your WAHM Business Online

Although Internet is booming with opportunities to bring online profits for your WAHM business, you shall take precautions to safeguard your WAHM business online. Based on my experiences, I share some internet safety tips to protect your WAHM business online:

Internet Security Guard. You must install Internet Security Guard to protect your PC. With internet security guard, you can browse safely with firewall protection and you can protect your PC from spam, viruses, malwares,spywares and other threats. Please adjust the setting to scan immediately once you open the computer.  And do buy from the reliable vendor rather than download free from the internet. Some are fake web security guard software that may block you from your access to the internet. You can not even remove the fake program as they penetrate into your program files once installed.

Whois Guard Privacy. If you register domain names for your website or blog, you must give accurate information about your WAHM business or personal information. This includes email, address and contact numbers. Please do add feature Whois Guard Privacy into your domain name. Whois Guard Privacy is to protect your personal details from the public if they want to find out the owner of the website or blog. This is particularly important if you run WAHM business from home. With Whois Guard Privacy, the Whois of the domain will display the domain registration company information instead of your personal details.

SSL or Secure Server Certificates.  This is an added feature for domain name to provide a security and protection for credit card payment transaction. If you sell products in your website or blog without the third party gateway, this is a must have feature.

The SSL (secure sockets layer) is the Web standard for encrypting communications between users and e-commerce sites. Data sent via an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data. SSL provides business and buyers with the confidence that private data sent to a website, such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential. Buyers know when they have an SSL session with a website when their browser displays the little gold padlock and the address bar begins with an https rather than http. SSL certificates can be used on web servers for Internet security and mail servers.

Use WAHM Business signature wisely. Business signature is a good way to tell people about your business. But you shall take precautions when you use it in your website or blog. You can provide a contact form instead of email so you discourage spammers and you will not receive spam emails often.

The 4 Internet Safety Tips above are to safeguard your WAHM business from spammers and people with ill-intention. It is true Internet brings more exposure for your WAHM business and you shall guard your WAHM business online wisely.
