Why do you need it?

The Benefits of an SSL Certificate

Having SSL certificates installed on your website is no longer an option today. Instead, as threats arise daily, it has become a requirement. Not only do SSL certificates ensure that your customer's information is safe, but they also provide many benefits to your business online.

Remove "Not Secure" Warnings

Nothing will turn away your customers quicker than a Not Secure warning in their browser. Our SSL Certificates will remove that warning.

Secure Online Payments and Information

Your customers trust you to keep their sensitive information secure. You will achieve this through SSL/TLS Encryption methods between your visitors' devices and your website.

Increased SEO Ranking and Conversions

Installing an SSL/TLS Certificate has been proven to increase conversions of visitors into paying customers. It can also improve search engine rankings.

Compliance with Regulation Standards

With the always-increasing regulations to protect online businesses and customers, buying an SSL Certificate will help with the requirements of PCI-DSS, HIPAA, HITECH, GDPR and more.

How do SSL Certificates Work?

Security and Encryption

When visitors enter an SSL-protected website, there will be a quick and automatic process of verifying your Certificate and selecting the most secure encryption methods.

1 The Certificate Transfers

When a visitor's browser connects to your website or service, it will automatically read your Certificate.

2 The SSL Handshake

The browser will verify that the Certificate is valid and begin a handshake process where both the browser and server agree on a secure connection.

3 Encryption of Data

Data will begin to be encrypted when sent to and received from your website or service.

4 The Padlock and Site Seal

With the connection secured and data encrypted, the Padlock will show in the visitors' browser, and Site Seals will display on your website.

Which one do I need?
