What is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that encrypts data transmitted between a user’s browser and a website. This encryption ensures that sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card numbers, remains secure.
Importance of SSL Certificates
Security
SSL certificates protect your website and its users from cyber threats by encrypting data. This is essential for any website that handles sensitive information.
Trust and Credibility
Websites with SSL certificates display a padlock icon in the address bar, signalling to visitors that the site is secure. This enhances trust and credibility.
SEO Benefits
Search engines like Google prioritize secure websites in their rankings. Having an SSL certificate can improve your site’s visibility in search engine results.
Types of SSL Certificates
Domain Validated (DV)
DV certificates offer basic encryption and are suitable for small websites and blogs.
Organization Validated (OV)
OV certificates provide higher encryption levels and require verification of the organization’s identity. They are ideal for businesses and e-commerce sites.
Extended Validation (EV)
EV certificates offer the highest level of security and require a rigorous validation process. They display a green address bar in browsers, providing maximum trust.
