SSL Certificate

HTTPS connections help to

ensure that the sent information of your visitors is encypted,

reduce the risk of data leakage.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a network security protocol between a web visitor’s browser and the website hosting server. It provides data encryption and identity authentication functions by using digital certificates. SSL is built on the transport layer, which establishes a point-to-point secure connection between the browser and the server. For example, when a web visitor is sending a username and password to your website using an unsecured or unencrypted connection (HTTPS), his data could be in transit and visible to the network provider or hackers. However, if it is over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), the data is encrypted and only the server can decrypt it.

Common browsers and search engines require web pages to use SSL certificates to initiate secure and encrypted HTTPS connections. If your website requires visitors to enter sensitive information, such as credit card payment information and password-protected areas, then you need to use a secure, encrypted HTTPS connection.

All our web hosting plans come with Let’s Encrypt free SSL certificates. However, Let’s Encrypt certificates are only for personal website usage. If your website is commercial in nature, you can use a commercial SSL certificate. You can purchase the following SSL certificates now and have them installed on your account.
