An SSL certificate is used to ensure the encryption of data exchanged between a web browser and a web server, in order to protect the data from unauthorized access.
Securing your website with an SSL certificate signals to your visitors that the transmitted data is safe. Especially when transmitting login credentials, payment information such as credit card numbers, or other sensitive information, the use of an SSL certificate is essential.
This allows your websites to be accessed via http(s)://, which is displayed in the browser as a secure connection, as opposed to http://.
We offer free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt as well as business certificates from our partner GeoTrust.
