The domain www.securewebexchange.com is a browser's access point to your secure content. The secure and secure-cgi-bin directories are used to store your secure content and are accessible via FTP and the WebsiteOS File Manager. As these directories exist outside of your public directory, they cannot be directly accessed by a web browser. As noted in the above paragraph, the securewebexchange.com domain is used by a browser to view your secure content.
