Yes, Gossimer does indeed allow you to serve WAP files.

To enable the Web Server to serve WAP documents, you need to set the following MIME types on the web server: 

• text/vnd.wap.wml for .wml files (WML source files)
• application/vnd.wap.wmlc for .wmlc files (WML compiled files)
• text/vnd.wap.wmlscript for .wmls files (WMLScript source files)
• application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc for .wmlsc files (WMLScript compiled files)
• image/vnd.wap.wbmp for .wbmp files (wireless bitmaps)

If you use the Apache Web server add the following lines in the  ..Apache GroupApache2confmime.types file:

• text/vnd.wap.wml   wml
• application/vnd.wap.wmlc   wmlc
• text/vnd.wap.wmlscript   wmls
• application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc   wmlsc
• image/vnd.wap.wbmp   wbmp

Our servers are already preconfigured to serve files.

§ What is WAP?

WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol. You would use WAP to serve information from your website to wireless devices such as mobile phones, pagers and communicators.

A domain name may be Deleted from our database by 2 methods, explained below -

I. System Deletion

Once a domain name has Expired, it will go to into Renewal Grace Period, where you can Renew this domain name at normal costs. This Renewal Grace Period would be for 40* days (for most domain name extensions). If you do not Renew the domain name in the Renewal Grace Period, then the domain name would be Deleted and the domain name (except a .UK, .WS and .NAME domain name) will go into Redemption Grace Period.

However, should there be no back-order for the domain name, you would still have the option to Redeem it.

Click here to understand what Redemption Grace Period implies and how you can restore your domain name (except .UK, .WS and .NAME) from this status >>
 

II. Manual Deletion

If you already have a domain name Registered, you can delete it from your Control Panel within 4 days of Registration. This 4 day period in case of domain names is referred as the Money Back Period. Deleting a domain name will immediately stop all functionalities (like the Website and Mails) associated with the domain name. Also, a domain name explicitly deleted would entitle you to a Refund of the entire amount, and there would be a charge of USD 1.0 for the Deletion.
 

Follow the procedure outlined below to Delete a domain name within the Money Back Period from your Control Panel - 

1. Login to your Control Panel and search for the domain name that you wish to delete. Click here to read how >>

2. Click on the domain name in the search results to get to the Order details view.

3. On this page, click on Delete Service.

4. On the next page, you would be displayed the amount that will be refunded to you upon Deletion. On confirming Deletion, the domain name would be immediately Deleted and the Website and Mails associated with it would stop functioning.

Once you have paid for your Digital Certificate Order, your order becomes Active within the system. However, you need to complete the Certificate Enrollment Process, before the certificate can be issued to you. 

Follow the instructions mentioned below to get your digital certificate issued:
 

Step 1. Generate a Private Key and Certificate Signature Request (CSR) from your web server

Before you can begin the process of obtaining a Certificate, you must generate a minimum of 1024-bit Private Key and CSR pair, off your web server.

A CSR is basically a Public Key that you generate on your server that validates the computer-specific information about your web server and Organization when you request a Certificate from thawte.

Digital ID’s make use of a technology called Public Key Cryptography, which uses Public and Private Key files.

The Public Key, also known as a Certificate Signature Request (CSR), is the key that will be sent to thawte. The CSR that you generate must be signed by atleast a 1024-bit Private Key (thawte will not accept a lower encryption level CSR than 1024-bit).

The Private Key will remain on the server and should never be released into the public. thawte does not have access to your Private Key. It is generated locally on your server and is never transmitted to thawte. The integrity of your Digital ID depends on your private key being controlled exclusively by you.

A CSR cannot be generated without generating a Private Key file nor can the Private Key file be generated without generating a CSR file. In certain web server software platforms like Microsoft IIS, both are generated simultaneously through the Wizard on the web server.

Typically, you will be prompted to enter the following information about your Organization in order to generate the Private Key and CSR (Public Key) pair off the web server:

• Organization Name
• Organizational unit – This maybe either a Sole Proprietorship, Trading As, University Department, University Administration, Government Department, Doing Business As, University Faculty, Public (Listed) Company, Private (Unlisted) Company, Registered Non Profit Organization, Non-Government Organization, Interest Group, Registered Charity.
• Country Code
• State or Province
• Locality
• – This is the name that distinguishes the Certificate best, and ties it to your Organization. Here you need to enter your exact host and domain name that you wish to secure. This may also be the root server or intranet name for your Organization.For example,a. if you wish to secure www.yourdomain.com, then you need to enter www.yourdomain.com as the Common Name. If you just enter yourdomain.com as the Common Name (without the host www), then the Certificate will only get issued to yourdomain.com. Similarly, if you need to secure pay.yourdomain.com, then you need to mention the Common Name as pay.yourdomain.com. b. if you are buying a Wildcard Server Certificate for securing all sub-domains of your domain name yourdomain.com, then you need to enter the Common Name as *.yourdomain.com; otherwise you will get an error while submitting your CSR.
     

   

   

   

You need to get in touch with your Web Hosting provider and request them to generate a CSR for your business after supplying them the abovementioned information. If you have bought Web Hosting for this domain name with us, then you may generate a CSR yourself from your own Control Panel. Click here to learn how you can generate a CSR for your domain name >>

Step 2. Validate your Certificate Signature Request (CSR) at thawte

Prior to enrolling for a Digital Certificate, it is recommended that you confirm that nothing is amiss with the CSR that you have generated.

Click here to validate your CSR at thawte >>

Upon submission of a valid CSR, you would be able to view its details in the Certificate Contents area (at the bottom of this page). However, if your CSR is invalid, the Certificate Contents area would appear blank and you would be displayed an error (on the top of this page).

Step 3. Submit your Organization Details, Contact Details and Certificate Details to thawte

Before a Digital Certificate can be issued to you, we need to send a request to thawte with some information about yourself and your business. Follow the process mentioned below to request your Digital Certificate:

1. Login to your Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have ordered a Digital Certificate. Click here to find instructions to do so >>

2. Upon clicking on the order, you need to click on the Enroll Certificate button.
