It's all  about keeping you secure**   HTTP stands for HyperText Transport  Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol (a  language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and  forth between web servers and clients.   The important thing is the letter S which makes the  difference between HTTP and HTTPS.   The S (big surprise) stands  for "Secure".If you visit a  website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will  likely begin with the following: <a href="http://." target="_blank">http://.</a>   This means that the  website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language.    In other words, it  is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's  conversation with the website.   If you fill out a  form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that  site.   This is why you never ever enteryour credit card  number in an http website!   But, if the web  address begins with https:// <<a href="https:///" target="_blank">HTTPS:///</a>>, that basically  means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can  eavesdrop on.   You understand why this is so important,  right?   If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card  information, you should automatically look to seeif the web address  begins with https://  <<a href="https:///" target="_blank">HTTPS:///</a>> .   If it doesn't,  there's no  wayyou're going to enter  sensitive information like a credit card number.   PLEASE PASS IT ON. (You may save  someone a lot of grief).   Thank You!</blockquote>
