On-line ordering with Astratech Satellites is completely safe. The order information including your personal details and credit card number are encrypted before being sent over the Internet to a secure server.

We utilise the services of a professional secure hosting company - Secure Hosting (http://www.securehosting.com/) to carry out all secure transactions.

This is what secure hosting has to say about the security we are using;

'We use industry standard Internet encryption with 128 bit SSL software developed by RSA Data. We hold a digital certificate from Verisign (the most established certification authority) which is compatible with Netscape and Microsoft browsers. When the customer enters your order form hosted on our secure server their browser will automatically inform them that encryption is being used. To give you some indication of the level of encryption used, it would take a hacker working with a Pentium computer something like the age of the earth to crack a message encrypted with 128bit SSL.

Furthermore, all data stored on the secure server is protected by a firewall, the specification of which has been recognised by the major banks. Your customers' card details are kept confidential at all times, and none of your orders will be seen by anyone other than you.'
