 What is SSL?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security technology that is commonly used for encrypting communications between users and e-commerce websites, thereby securing server to browser transactions. The SSL protocol utilizes encryption to prevent eavesdropping and tampering of the transmitted data, and is used to secure information passed by a browser (such as a customer's credit card number or password) to a webserver (such as an online store).
SSL protects data submitted over the Internet from being intercepted and viewed by unintended recipients and as used by hundreds of thousands of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers, SSL is the de-facto industry standard Internet transaction security technology.
How do website visitors know if a website is using SSL?
When a website visitor connects to a webserver using SSL they will see that the URL in the address bar begins with https:// rather than the usual http:// and also a small gold padlock will appear in their browser, e.g.
As seen by users of Internet Explorer
Whenever a browser connects to a webserver (website) over https:// - this signifies that the communication will be encrypted and secure. The actual complexities of the SSL protocol remain invisible to the end customer.
In summary, SSL is the de facto web transaction security technology. Webservers have been built to support it and web browsers have been built to use it. SSL provides the ability to secure customers transactions transparently without the customer having to do a thing!
Do I need it?
If you plan to provide e-commerce solutions on your website, it is highly recommended that you purchase the SSL option. We offer a full installation package that includes the 128-bit SSL certificate, a required dedicated IP, and support for any issues you may have. We also have a standalone SSL option if you have your own SSL certificate and have the technical background to install it. All hosting packages have the option to add on the SSL package.
To start the process to get your website secure, simply signup for hosting and select the SSL add-on during the checkout process. If you have any questions about whether this is right for your website, feel free to send us an email through our contact form.
Terms and Conditions
Full SSL installation packages require a $20 setup fee. The SSL certificate is purchased on a annual basis. The setup fee and cost of the SSL are non-refundable after purchase.
