SSL Certificates, Secure Websites Equals Satisfied Clients and Visitors
SSL (Secure Socket Layers) are vital to you, your website and your visitor’s security. SSL certificates are small files that find a cryptographic key to your website details. The certificates are installed on your server and this activates a padlock and the https protocol.
The https protocol allows for a secure connection. URL’s that have an SSL connection start with https: instead of http. If your website is passing confidential information, such as credit card numbers or even telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and visitor names then you need to makes sure it is https protocol.
