Does your website attract visitors to make a purchase, enter usernames and passwords or even personal details as basic as a name and email address?
On today's Internet, users are growing ever more concious of their privacy and identity security. They're also growing more accustomed to abandoning a shopping cart if they notice something they don't like on a website - numerous shopping comparison sites have made it dead simple to find a product from a large number of suppliers with relatively little effort.
SSL - short for Secure Sockets Layer - is the protocol used to protect a user's personal details online by encrypting the information sent to a protected server so that a hacker cannot read the contents. An SSL certificate is the key here - in exchange for an annual fee, you are provided with the certificate files required to encrypt your users' connections to your server.
SSL certificates need not be expensive, and you get varying features and compensation levels depending on the product you purchase. We are currently offering a range of SSL certificate products from RapidSSL, GeoTrust and GlobalSign. Talk to us today and we can give you a price to suit your requirements.
Most SSL providers and resellers will simply provide you with a "wizard" to run through, and perhaps an FAQ database for various questions and issues you may experience. For a small £20* fee, we can get your SSL certificate requested, ordered and installed for you. Please get in touch if you would like us to help you arrange an SSL certificate.
* £20 fee is subject to VAT at the current standard rate. Customers who have an active hosting account with us are eligible for a 50% discount on this fee.
