What is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL certificate
enables your web site to be able to accept and transmit confidential information
securely over an encrypted internet connection. Internet users are becoming more
aware of the need to see an "https" prefix in the address bar or the padlock
icon on their browser when they submit personal information. An SSL certificate
lets you assure your site visitors that their information will be passed
securely to your website.
Why would I need an SSL Certificate?
- If you plan to have an online store or e-commerce site that accepts online
orders and credit cards.
- If you collect sensitive or personal information from your website visitors
on your website through web forms.
- If you allow partners, members, or others to log in to view information
securely from your website.
- If you want to help your customers ensure they are visiting your actual
website, avoiding phishing scams or other counterfeiting of your website.
- If you or your business desire to or are required to comply with privacy and
security regulations.
