A newbie question

I have newbie question .
When I login in namecheap, it redirects to

Quote:

http://www.namecheap

, however , when I login in godaddy, it jumps to

Quote:

https://www.godaddy.com

What is the difference between that?

Thanks in advance

If you visit "https:", secure connection is built.
It uses different socket, compared with common "http".

meaning your login sessions at godaddy.com are much more secure than your login sessions with namecheap.com

When information is sent across the internet,your ISP can view the information if you are using http.
But is it is https then your ISP will only see some encrypted data.

You could always bookmark and use "https://www.namecheap.com" just to make sure you are always "secure".
