Why having an SSL certificate matters to your business\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a website owner, you don\u2019t want anything getting in the way of visitors (in other words \u2018paying customers\u2019) reaching your site do you? But that\u2019s just what Google\u2019s new version of Chrome will do when Chrome 68 is launched at the beginning of July\u2026<\/p>\n

Why, and how, will Google Chrome stop visitors getting to my website, you ask? Well, the search giant has decided if your website doesn\u2019t have an SSL certificate in place, it\u2019s going to show an unfriendly \u2018not secure\u2019 label in the address bar<\/strong> next to your domain name. Previously, Google was only targeting sites without an SSL that collected data, but it\u2019s upped the ante to include ALL websites now.<\/p>\n

Rest assured Google has good intentions for taking this action \u2013 it wants to ensure its users can only reach secure websites from its search rankings.<\/p>\n

Obviously, you don\u2019t want the warning being shown to your customers so let’s get an SSL certificate added to your site<\/a> without delay. We’ll do the work so it’s very low effort for you.<\/p>\n

An SSL from names.co.uk is not expensive. In fact our Quick SSL<\/a> costs less than \u00a35 per month.  It\u2019ll also mean that you\u2019ll see \u2018https\u2019 in the address bar, rather than \u2018http\u2019 (the \u2018s\u2019 stands for secure).<\/p>\n

It makes an awful lot of sense to get an SSL on your site, but, if you need another reason, here it is: there\u2019s been suggestion in discussion groups that your site will be ranked lower by Google if it doesn\u2019t have an SSL. So, a double whammy of reasons to give us a bell and get us to add an SSL certificate to your site!<\/p>\n

SSL certificate \u2013 an absolute MUST as of July 2018. Don’t hold your business back.<\/strong><\/p>\n
