Secure Socket Layer (SSL) may sound complex, but it's not. When you purchase SSL certificate options, whichever one you choose, it encrypts the communication between you and your site visitors so that no one else can eavesdrop or steal information. It also verifies the identity of your website to make sure it's legitimate.
When your SSL certificate is issued, we'll send you a welcome e-mail with simple instructions. After activation, the time required for full configuration will depend on the type of validation level you choose, i.e. from 10 minutes to 10 days for the certification authority to perform verifications.
When people type your site's domain name into their browser, the encryption confirmation will be a visible padlock and "https://". You'll also get a site seal to put on your website. If you want even more trust from your customers, OV and EV SSL certificates verify that your company is legitimate, not just your domain name.
Since Google lists websites that aren't SSL-encrypted as "insecure" and ranks them lower than protected sites, every site owner needs one. SSL certificates increase SEO, protect your customers and let them know they can trust your platform.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an updated version of SSL. We sell TLS, but most people still call it SSL because that's the term everyone knows. TLS is a little more secure, so companies like banks will insist on it, but for most websites, it doesn't make much difference. Our certificates are compatible with both SSL and TLS protocols.
