Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS SSL?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) enhances a web site’s security by providing two important features: encryption and authentication.
- Encryption means that the data sent between your web site and users is unreadable by others. When a user accesses your site using an SSL connnection (URLs that begin with https://), the web server and web browser exchange encrypted information. Contrast this with unencrypted web transactions, which are transmitted as plaintext and subject to eavesdropping.
- Authentication means visitors can trust that you actually are who you claim to be. When users access your site using an SSL connection, they can be confident that they are seeing your site, and not an impostor’s. Whereas encryption helps protect data, authentication helps prove your identity to others.
When users visit an SSL-enabled site, most web browsers display a lock icon (usually in the address bar). To enable SSL for your own web site, you must obtain and install a certificate.
Do SSL certificates work in all web browsers?
DOES MY WEB SITE NEED SSL?
Can I upgrade my SSL Certificate?
Do I need technical expertise to set up an SSL certificate on my web site?
Installing a certificate is not difficult, but it does involve a process that’s specific to each individual web server. Certification Authorities publish instructions for generating the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and installing the certificate. If you need help submit a support ticket and we can discuss your options which include our SSL Install Service for $24.99.
