What's SSL Certificate

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cyber-security protocol that digitally encrypts information sent from a browser to a server. With an SSL certificate, you protect your website and your customerso information by making sure that any data transferred between remains impossible to read for hackers.

SSL certificates are used to protect sensitive information like credit card numbers, usernames, passwords, email addresses, and more. A website with an SSL certificate is identified using a number of trust indicators, like "https" and the padlock icon in the browser bar, a site seal from a reputable Certificate Authority (CA), and a green bar that wraps around the URL on more premium certificates. Creating the foundation of trust with a secure connection is essential for your success.
