How Secure Sockets Layer Certificates Work

Online security is a major priority for everyone who purchases products online, and your customers will anticipate nothing but the highest possible security level when they pay for your products.

What Does SSL Mean?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that protects your online storefront or sign-on page. The SSL certificates, also called digital certificates, encrypt the sensitive info required from site visitors like place of residence, date of birth, Social Security number, driver's licence or credit card information, so that nobody could use this information for unlawful purposes.

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

The SSLs feature 256-bit encryption, and include a ten thousand USD warranty and a static site seal for your site. You need to have a dedicated IP address.
