HTTP VS HTTPS

Today, my research leads me to something new which I think that I should share as it is really important. So read the article and if you have any questions then feel free to leave comment or contact us at support@tech-students.com or use our contact form.

HTTP: HTTP Stands for Hyper Text Transport Protocol. It is a protocol which passes the information back and forth between web servers and clients.

HTTPS: HTTPS Stands for Hyper Text Transport Protocol Secure. It is also a protocol which passes the information back and forth between web servers and clients but it transfers everything with more secure network.

What is the difference?

The Difference is that HTTPS is more secure as a pose to HTTP which is not so secure and that is why you do not want to enter our credit card information on a website that begins with HTTP. When you visit a website or a page webpage, chances are that it will most likely start with HTTP.

What does this means?

This means that the website and your browser are talking to each other using unsecured language. In short terms, it is possible for someone to see your conversation on that website. When you are filling out a form on a website, another person from outside might be able to see what you have sent to that website. Again, this is why you never ever want to enter your credit card number in an HTTP Website.

What about HTTPS?

When your computer is talking to HTTPS website, then it means that you are safe because no one can crack HTTPS as it has got the word “S – Secure” in it.

In the future, if a website ever asks you to enter your personal information like your credit card number. The first thing you want to do is to looks for HTTPS. If it is not in HTTPS then some websites might have the ability to be changed to HTTPS so just change it to HTTPS which means you are secure to enter your personal information.
