http is the standard format used for any website while https means that the website/domain has Secure Socket Layer(SSL) installed and is secured to carry online payment transactions.

Both are the protocoals but the basic different is https is the secure connection between client browser and server.

Hello friend...

HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol, this is just another way of saying it is a protocol to transfer information back and forth between Web servers. The “S” (big surprise) stands for "secure." Maybe I did not need you to say, because I knew it was related to security.

Thanks for...

HTTP is a system for transmitting and receiving information across the internet.HTTP is a protocol used in networking.It uses port 80 for communication.HTTP serves as a request and response procedure.
HTTPS is a combination of two different protocols( HTTP and SSL/TLS protocol).Its more secure than HTTP.
It uses 443 port for communication.It operates at transport layer.

I think this is not the difference you people are explaining. https means a secure way of browsing. If you are using internet in some network of computers then its better to use https than http.

Every dark night is followed by a bright sunny day. So, patience and attention is required and things will be fruitful in near future.

HTPPS has been used for secure client server and HTPP is the standard format of a website.

HTTP stands for hypertext transfer protocol is protocol for sending & receiving information across the internet. The default port for http is 80.
HTTPS is identical to HTTP, it follows the same basic protocols. Its default port is 443. It passed the information as encrypted that cannot be accessed by any other than a client & server. Its more secure than Http.

HTTPS is the standard protocol used for securely transmitting data over the internet, in this case web pages. It addresses the issues with HTTP but at the same time it operates in exactly the same way, apart from the fact that all data is sent encrypted.

When you visit a website with the https:// prefix you are telling the web server that you want to establish a secure communication path. HTTPS will use a different port (number 443) to ensure that all secure and non secure communications are kept separately.

Difference between HTTPS and HTTP lies in the extra ‘S’ with HTTPS. This ‘S’ stands for security. Now the question is what type of security? HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol whereas HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Soc ket Layer, or HTTP over SSL. This might be look like alien language to you, but this is one of the important things we should know and believe me it’s not a geek thing.

http stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol and s represents secure connection.

HTTPS is the standard secured protocol which exactly secured the web server and the user's sensitive information while transmitting it online.

HTTS:// used to encryption and decryption technology before the sending users sensitive details such as pay pal, credit card, and bank wire details before sending to web servers.

HTTP is Hyper Text Transport Protocol and is transmitted over the wire via PORT 80(TCP). You normally use HTTP when you are browsing the web, its not secure, so someone can eavesdrop on the conversation between your computer and the web server.

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a Web protocol developed by Netscape and built into its browser that encrypts and decrypts user page requests as well as the pages that are returned by the Web server. HTTPS is really just the use of Netscape's Secure Socket Layer (SSL) as a sublayer under its regular HTTP application layering. (HTTPS uses port 443 instead of HTTP port 80 in its interactions with the lower layer, TCP/IP.) SSL uses a 40-bit key size for the RC4 stream encryption algorithm,new-age browsers use 128-bit key size which is more secure than the former, it is considered an adequate degree of encryption for commercial exchange.HTTPS is normally used in login pages, shopping/commercial sites.

Hello friend very nice topic really i like this post. And here i m sharing different between HTTP and HTTPS

HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol. Https means that the website/domain has Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The “S” stands for "Secure".

Https is much secure than Http and is used for exchanging confidential information with server. So when you want to make your transaction more secure use https.

Is there any need to use an https for a normal website, or only if your receiving payments?

Http means hyper text transport protocol. Through http the information exchanges between the web servers and the clients. When https came in the web site, it means that time website is secure. That time data exchange between the web server and you is safe. No one can copy your information when you are working on the https site.
