Hi Michael,

>From what I can read from your post, users will access unencrypted site and
enter their details in a forum. After they are done they click submit to
submit data. In this scenario data between client computer and your server
will travel in clear text (unencrypted). After it gets to the server it can
be posted in encrypted (SSL) form to another page if you configure it so...

Answer to your 2nd question is yes. My recommendation though would be to use
2048 Bits key size (you can select this when you are performing certificate
request).
