What Precisely are SSL Certificates?

Internet safety is a number one priority for everyone who purchases goods online, and your clients will expect nothing but the highest possible level of safety when they purchase your products.

What Does SSL Stand for?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that protects your web shop or sign-on page. The Secure Sockets Layer certificates, also known as digital certificates, encrypt the sensitive information requested from site visitors like physical address, date of birth, national insurance number, driver's license or debit card details, so that no one could use this information for illicit purposes.

Your website visitors can recognize a protected site by the ‘https' part at the beginning of the Internet address, or by the padlock icon in the web browser window, or by a special seal on the site.

The SSL certificates offer 256-bit encryption, and include a 10 000 USD warranty and a site seal for your website. You need to have a dedicated IP.
