Why a site needs one

- Search engines expect it
- Google uses HTTPS as one of the signals it considers when ranking pages.
Questions people ask
How does SSL encryption work?
It sets up an encrypted connection between the visitor's browser and your server, so data sent between them cannot be read in transit.
Do certificates need renewing?
Yes. Plans are yearly, and we send renewal reminders so coverage does not lapse.
How can I check SSL is working?
Look for the padlock in the address bar and check the address starts with https://. Online SSL checkers can confirm the details.
Does SSL matter for e-commerce?
Yes. It encrypts card details and personal data during checkout.
Can I get a refund on a certificate?
Refunds depend on the certificate and the terms of purchase. See our terms or ask us.
