Unless I missed something in the middle there, your original request was for VPN Termination, You did not specify exactly what it was for, so the answer is NO you would not need VPN access (for use of a website), instead you'd presumably use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which is a whole different thing.
Mark is right, VPNs are used to connect two computers together in a secured private network. For example if my Home PC is on and I want to get something off a shared folder or Remote control it (from anywhere in the world), and I wanted to do so in a secure fashion, I'd need a VPN connection to that PC to be established first before I could access the share or set up the remote control connection. Obviously if thats not what you're looking for and just want a secure webserver, hosting encrypted webpages, you'd need SSL Certificates instead. I think to prevent a fight breaking out here Phil, can you specify exactly the kind of scenario you anticipate and what kind of solutions you are looking for and then we can probably give you a more useful response, as I think what has happened is that you've used VPN where you probably meant SSL. I'm not clever enough to explain the difference between the two so maybe someone else can take over at this point and clarify?
