SSL FAQ

Frequently asked questions about SSL

What is SSL?

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, an encryption technology originally created by Netscape in the 1990s. It creates an encrypted connection between your web server and your visitors' browsers, so private information is sent securely, without the risk of eavesdropping or data tampering.

Why do I need an SSL certificate?

An SSL certificate helps prevent attackers, or companies such as ISPs, from tampering with the data sent between your website and your visitors' browsers. This is especially important if your website handles credit card numbers or other sensitive information.
