SSL Certificate

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security technology that encrypts the connection between your website and your visitors' browsers. You can tell a site has SSL because its address starts with 'https://' and shows a padlock icon.

Without SSL, any data sent between your site and visitors (like contact form submissions, passwords, or payment details) can potentially be intercepted. Google also ranks sites with SSL higher than those without.

These days, SSL is essential for every website, not just online shops. Browsers show 'Not Secure' warnings on sites without it, which scares visitors away.

All our hosting packages include a free SSL certificate. We set it up for you and make sure it stays active.
