Secure the data of your users online using SSL encryption.
What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that provides authentication and encryption for internet communication between a user’s web browser and a website’s server. SSL certificates are a crucial component of ensuring the security and privacy of data transmitted over the internet, particularly for websites that handle sensitive information, such as login credentials, payment details, and personal data.
Here are the key functions and features of an SSL certificate:
- Authentication: SSL certificates verify the identity of a website by confirming that the website’s server belongs to the organization or entity it claims to represent. This helps users trust that they are interacting with a legitimate and secure website.
- Encryption: SSL certificates encrypt data transmitted between the user’s browser and the website’s server. This encryption makes it extremely difficult for unauthorized parties to intercept and decipher the data. This is especially important for protecting sensitive information from eavesdropping and data breaches.
- Data Integrity: SSL certificates also ensure the integrity of data during transmission. They use cryptographic algorithms to detect any tampering or modification of data that might occur during transit. If any unauthorized changes are detected, the connection is terminated to prevent data compromise.
- HTTPS Protocol: SSL certificates are typically used to enable the HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) protocol. Websites that use HTTPS have their web addresses start with “https://” instead of “http://”. The “s” stands for “secure” and indicates that the site is using SSL/TLS encryption.
- Browser Indicators: Modern web browsers display visual indicators, such as a padlock icon or a green address bar, to signal a secure connection when SSL certificates are in use. This helps users identify secure websites and builds trust.
SSL certificates are issued by trusted third-party entities called Certificate Authorities (CAs). These CAs verify the identity of the certificate holder before issuing the certificate. There are different types of SSL certificates, including:
- Domain Validated (DV) Certificates: These verify the ownership of the domain name but do not provide extensive identity verification.
- Organization Validated (OV) Certificates: These offer a higher level of authentication by verifying the legal entity behind the website.
- Extended Validation (EV) Certificates: These provide the highest level of trust and authentication. They require a rigorous verification process and display the organization’s name in the browser’s address bar.
SSL certificates play a critical role in online security, helping to protect sensitive information and ensure that users can trust the websites they visit. They are essential for e-commerce sites, login portals, and any website that handles private or confidential data.


SSL Certification in Four Easy Steps
Start by investing in the appropriate SSL certificate for your requirements. Choose one of the aforementioned three kinds.
Immediately upon purchase (or later, if you like), you may activate your SSL certificate from the Account Panel. During the activation procedure, CSR code assignment and domain name indication will take place.
When your SSL certificate is approved and provided, you will be given instructions on how to install it. For additional details on the installation procedure, go here.
In your Account Panel, you may manage your SSL certificates (including renewal and reissuance).
