SSL Certificate

What are SSL certificates?

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer technology. It is the industry standard method for securing the transfer of sensitive data such as credit card information between a web browser and a server.

It is theoretically possible for data sent on a non secure website to be intercepted by a hacker. Having an SSL certificate enables the data to be encrypted so that it can only be read by the authorized server - even if the encrypted data is intercepted it is unreadable.

A Dedicated SSL certificate protects both your information and your customers, providing a secure, encrypted link between a website and customers for all online transactions.
