Frequently asked questions about SSL

  • What is an SSL Certificate?

    SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, a digital certificate used to encrypt data sent between a user and a website. SSL certificates are most commonly used when sensitive information is being exchanged such as credit card details, personal details or passwords.

    When you buy an SSL certificate, a trusted authority such as Sectigo will vet and validate you and your businesses identity. Once in place it secures connections from a web server to a web browser and a lock icon appears in the browser bar. This icon instills user confidence and trust in your website. Only sites with SSL certificates will display this symbol of security, i.e. HTTPS sites.

  • What are the benefits of having an SSL Certificate on my website?

    There a few key benefits to having an SSL for your site -

    1. Build trust in your website
    2. Improve conversions - customers are more likely to buy if they feel secure on your site
    3. Be Google friendly - Google favours secure sites so having HTTPS will likely increase your ranking
    4. Protect your customers and site against fraud such as phishing scams
  • Which certificate do I need?

    If you simply want to provide a secure connection, we recommend a Starter SSL DV certificate as you will be up and running in under 24 hours after a simple domain validation check.

    For businesses, if you want to show your visitors you are an authentic organisation, our Professional SSL OV certificate would be a good choice as Sectigo, our SSL provider, will vet and validate your company.

    Our Premium SSL EV certificate is designed for companies who have a high number of online transactions each day. With this certificate your company will be extensively vetted by Sectigo. Once in place, your visitors will be able to see a padlock in the address bar next to your domain name (like our own website). This gives visitors added reassurance that your site is safe.

    A Wildcard SSL OV the best choice if you're looking for efficiency. It will allow you to secure your domain plus an unlimited number of its subdomains with one certificate, with the same level of validation as our Professional option.

  • I have multiple subdomains to secure, which certificate is best?

    Our Wildcard SSL is perfect for you. It's designed to be used by those who have lots of subdomains to secure, in fact an unlimited number of subdomains can be encrypted with just one certificate. Choosing a Wildcard will save you time and money.
