What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate issued for a domain by a central authority called the certificate authority. To issue an SSL certificate, you must purchase one and then go through a verification process carried out by the certificate authority.
Why should I buy an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate does 2 things:
a) Encrypt the information sent from the browser of your user / users of your website.
b) Authenticate the identity of your site / websites.
By doing these 2 things, an SSL certificate protects your customers and in turn increases their trust in your online business. This is especially important if your website requires users to log in using passwords or entering confidential information, such as credit card details.
Do SSL certificates work in all browsers?
SSL certificates are compatible with all major browsers.
Can I update my SSL certificates?
Unfortunately, we do not support updates / downgrades at the moment. If necessary, you can buy a new certificate and install it on the same web server as the old certificate.
Do I need technical knowledge to create an SSL certificate on my website?
