One of my mates pointed this out. Moniker login pages are really secure?

mate said:
I also notice that their account login pages do not appear to be secure. The forms are processed by a script at https..., but the username/password is not being sent encrypted in the first place from what I can see as the form where they're entered is not at https;...

According to your thought, enom and nsi seem to be secure. But godaddy, dotster and moniker seem to be not secure. Right?
mate said:
Unless my understanding of how SSL works is wrong (which is of course possible - technology advances so quickly these days it's quite hard to keep up with everything), I don't believe they are secure.

As I understand it for the information to be submitted over a secure connection the form itself must also be located on a secure server.

But right click on the Login button and then click properties. It shows not https:// but http://...

Doesn't it mean the username/password is not being sent encrypted?

The login button is NOT the same as the action of the button. The image may be http: but the form where your information goes is https: and that's all that's important.

Moniker is the most secure registrar you can find. They have a perfect record...never had a domain stolen from them.

Thanks for the reply labrocca.

I don't have enough knowledge about SSL connection. But I'll access moniker site through https://www.moniker.com/index.jsp from now on. I think it's the best way I can do.
