A simple explanation of the SSL certificate and why it is vital
Protect customer data, boost SEO rankings, and build instant trust with https.
An SSL certificate is like a digital padlock for a website.
- When you visit a site with SSL you’ll see the little padlock in your browser and the web address starts with https//:, it means the information you send (such as passwords, credit card numbers, or messages) is scrambled into a secret code before it travels across the internet.
- Only the website you’re talking to has the key to unscramble it, so hackers can’t easily steal or read your information while it’s moving. This is sometimes known as a “man in the middle” attack.
- It also tells you the website is legitimately owned by who it says it is, reducing the risk of fake or scam sites tricking you.
In short: SSL keeps your data safe and proves you’re talking to the real website, not an imposter.
Having an https URL is now also vital for SEO as google and other search engines regard this as a mark of quality and will demote websites on non secured (http) URLs.

Our cheapest option
This is the most basic SSL certificate type with the lower level of encryption. Only recommended for non transactional websites such as personal blogs and info sites with a light use of secure third-party mail forms.
Free Options
Free SSL certificates are also available but these are best suited to non transactional websites such as personal blogs and info sites. The premium SSL certificates above offer much higher levels of encryption and these are primarily intended for business websites with a large throughput of personal or transactional data.
