Checkouts & Security: Your Web Host is Key

In order the take credit card payments, sites must be SSL certified and receive an SSL ID code.

Any reputable site host supports SSL certified secure connections. So, if you subscribe to a shared hosting package, in which you share server space with other sites, you'll be able to use the host's SSL certification to accept credit card payments through your site. There shouldn't be a charge for this since the host must have the SSL cert any way.
