I have been trying to learn as much as possible about all of the tech and protocols behind running my server and I want to make sure that I understand correctly...
when I purchase the Pro License, I am getting access to the SSL features - which means I am getting SSL/TLS right?
After watching a video and hearing the guy refer to SSL, he mentioned that it is an older version of Security and that the natural successor is TLS and that when a lot of people say "SSL" (as general reference for the technology or protocol) in most cases they are actually talking about TLS. That is the only reasoning behind my stupid NOOB question.

Re: Pro License question about the ssl features
Yes, "SSL" (secure sockets layer) is now used generically for an encrypted http connection (https). There are evolving protocols used in SSL that are currently called TLS (transport layer security) 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, etc. That's my rudimentary understanding of it anyway. But it's all the same thing. This article explains it better:
