Secure Your Website and Customer Data

SSL Certificate is a digital certificate issued for a domain by a central authority called the Certificate Authority. To be issued a SSL Certificate, you must purchase an SSL Certificate and then go through a verification process conducted by the Certificate Authority.

A SSL Certificate does 2 things:
a. Encrypt the information sent from your user's browser to your website
b. Authenticate your website's identity. By doing these 2 things, an SSL Certificate protects your customers and in turn increases their trust in your online business.
This is especially important if your website requires users to login using passwords or enter sensitive information such as credit card details.

SSL Certificates are compatible with all major browsers.

Unfortunately, we don't support upgrades/downgrades at the moment. If required you can purchase a new certificate and install it on the same web server as the old certificate.

While it isn't difficult to install an SSL Certificate, it does involve following a series of steps. You can find more information in our KnowledgeBase.

There are 3 different levels of vetting that SSL Certificates are based upon. Domain Validated (DV) , Organization Validated (OV), and Extended Validation (EV). The major difference between the types of certificate relates to the information the Certificate Authority, RapidSSL, GeoTrust and DigiCert, requires and validates in order to issue a certificate. The higher levels of certificate require more information, and often is displayed in the browser bar. EV SSL for example turns the browser bar green and displays the organization name to visitors to generate more trust.

SSL Certificates are an essential part of the internet. They not only encrypt communication between your computer and the server where a website is located, but they also provide verification that a site is what it claims to be.
