One of the most important components of online business is creating a trustworthy environment where potential customers feel safe making purchases.

SSL certificates build the foundation of trust by establishing a secure connection.

To assure visitors that their connection is secure, browsers provide special visual indicators known as EV indicators, ranging from a green padlock to a branded URL bar.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates use a pair of keys: a public key and a private key. These keys work together to establish an encrypted connection. The certificate also contains what is called the “subject,” which is the identity of the certificate owner/website.

The most important part of an SSL certificate is that it is digitally signed by a Certificate Authority (CA).

An SSL certificate issued by a CA to an organization and its domain/website confirms that a trusted third party has verified the identity of that organization. Since the web browser trusts the CA, it also trusts the organization’s identity. The browser notifies the user that the website is secure, and the user can feel safe browsing the site and even entering confidential information.

All our clients who have web hosting with us receive free SSL certificates for all their domains/websites.
