SSL Certificates

SSL Security Certificates

Do you have a shiny impressive website which you are hoping to sell goods/services to the public from ?

If the answer to this question is yes then you need to consider the question of 'Will your visitors feel secure using it', otherwise all your efforts will be invane. The question of trust always looms large online, especially if you are asking visitors to enter their sensitive information. Nobody likes to provide credit card details unless they feel completely safe.
That's why you need to verify your site is 100% secure - and SSL Certificates do just that.

What is SSL and how does it work ?

SSL

SSL stands for 'Secure Sockets Layer' and is the world-standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a server and a browser.
Any information sent between your website and a visitor's web browser using this secure socket layer (SSL) cannot be read.

If you've ever bought anything online, you've probably used SSL without even realising it. Most web browsers will display a padlock when you're viewing a site over SSL, so you know the connection is secure. Another sign of SSL is the web address you are viewing will start https:// instead of http://.

When you buy SSL, you're infact buying an SSL certificate. This certificate is issued by a trusted authority and identifies your site/business as being secure.

If you have a web hosting package with us, we'll automatically install your SSL Certificate for you.

Benefits of having an SSL certificate

Ecommerce performance

Improve your sites ecommerce performance

To reduce your costs and be able to take online payments securely without a third-party merchant, you will need a highly encrypted SSL certificate.
Studies have shown that consumers often abandon online checkouts if the site doesn't appear secure. Having an SSL certificate will give your website visible security credentials.

Comply with PCI DSS

PCI DSS

Whether you are a large or small business, compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is vital for anyone who accepts credit cards, online or offline, because nothing is more important than keeping your customer's payment card data secure.
One of the criteria for complying to PCI DSS is of course holding a valid SSL certificate !

Safeguard data

Safeguard your visitors private data

If you are requesting visitors to your website to enter their personal details, then protect them with an SSL Certificate. Using a SSL ensures your visitors data is scrambled while being transmitted accross the internet to ensure it cannot be intercepted.
