SSL CERTIFICATES
We know how important is for our customers to keep their Website data secure.

An SSL Certificate enables a website to use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) in order to encrypt sensitive information, such as login passwords and credit card details that are being passed between it and its visitors’ web browsers.
SSL is the standard security technology used by the web industry to encrypt information passing between a web server and a browser.
Most people who have shopped online probably have used SSL without even realizing. An SSL page is easily recognized – the address bar always begins with https:// rather than the usual http://
When installed on a web server, SSL activates a padlock and the https:// address, thereby instructing the server to establish a secure connection with the visitor’s web browser. Once this secure connection has been established, all traffic between the server and browser is encrypted, making it 100% secure.
For a website to be successful, it has to have the confidence of its customers. Confidence not just in the product it is promoting, but also confidence that it keeps confidential customer information 100% safe.
An SSL Certificate enables a website to do just that. By installing SSL on a web server, all sensitive traffic between the server and the visitor’s web browser is encrypted, thereby making it unreadable to a third party.
If you have an e-commerce website, the only way to ensure that your customers’ payment card details are 100% secure is by having an SSL Certificate. Online purchases should only be made on an SSL secured page – easily recognized by having https:// at the start of the address bar.
SSL is becoming increasingly popular to protect private chat rooms and to protect customer databases.
An SSL Certificate can be used to make any website secure.
Most commonly, SSL Certificates are used when sensitive information is being exchanged between a website and a web visitor. This includes:
- sharing financial details – e.g. submitting credit/debit card details
- submitting username/login details
- downloading customer databases
- private chat rooms
SSL offers both the webmaster and the web user peace of mind by offering 100% security on protected pages.
