To help you pick the right SSL certificate, let's review the three main levels of authentication available.
The most simple way to get certified. Ideal for personal sites, blogs and such. You will get the security lock in the address bar and it will improve SEO ranking. Our hosting packages include some form of this SSL certificate.
It takes some time to get this level of validation, because authentication is done manually. Good option for online shops and any other site with registration feature or any other form of personal information exchange.
Top level of authentication, which requires extensive vetting from the Certificate Authority. Best option for businesses. Proven to increase sales conversion, with green address bar status in all browsers.
Here are just some of the reasons why your website should have an SSL certificate.
More than ever, trust is a very important online issue that we all deal with, especially when it comes to e-commerce. A trustworthy relationship with your online customers starts with simple validation, which shows users exactly who they're dealing with. Knowing that your website protects their valuable personal information helps you gain trust and as you can probably imagine - that's good for business.
If your website is SSL certified, it gets extra points from Google and ranks higher than your competitors. In order to take full advantage of this, you have to make sure that all pages on your site have SSL enabled. So, make sure that your SSL certificate is installed and configured properly. If you have multiple sites or multiple subdomains, you also have to make sure you pick the right certificate to begin with to cover everything.
Multiple consumer behavior studies indicate that SSL encryption on an e-commerce website influences shoppers' decision on buying a product or completely abandoning the website. Moreover, ALL of the shoppers notice the green address bar on websites which have Extended Validation and it actually helps increase sales. With Extended Validation being the most expensive option, these studies prove that in most cases with increased sales, this option practically pays for itself.
Cybercrime today takes many forms and affects all types of business online. Customer information stolen from your website is the last thing any business wants to deal with. With social networking today, bad reputation spreads like fire and brands with cybercrime issues take massive losses. SSL encryption helps prevent small cybercrime issues and protect your customers valuable information.
In order to accept credit card payments, your e-commerce website must be PCI compliant. Having a valid SSL certificate is just one of the requirements. Make sure you check the requirement to find out that type of SSL certificate you need and purchase it before you start the compliance process to avoid any procedural delays.
Contrary to popular myths, websites with SSL load faster than those without it. Not only your customers will benefit from faster load times, it also helps with SEO ranking, because websites that load faster also get bonus points from Google.
Online security is ever evolving, so is SSL. SSL is being upgraded to Transport Layer Security (TLS). It's faster, has better verification processes and new encryption algorithms. When you're ready, you will just need to upgrade your certificate and not go through the whole process from scratch.
