Why each option
When configuring a website in the cloud, the administrator should use SSL/TLS to secure web traffic and encrypt communication between clients and the server.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an unencrypted protocol for web communication and does not provide security for a website.
IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of protocols used to secure IP communications, typically for VPNs, not directly for securing application-layer website traffic.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), largely superseded by TLS (Transport Layer Security), encrypts communication between a web server and a web browser, ensuring data privacy and integrity for websites and protecting sensitive user data exchanged over the internet.
SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol used for secure remote login and command-line execution, primarily for managing servers, not for securing public website traffic.
