An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is essential for an encrypted and secure connection between the server and the browser, which protects your site visitors' information. With an SSL certificate, when visitors visit your website, they'll see that your website is secure. On the other hand, without SSL, a "Not Secure" warning will be shown in the browser. SSL is also a ranking factor for many search engines, such as Google.
Website.com recognizes the importance of SSL certificates for your website's protection and trust, and provides SSL certificates with all of our premium website builder subscription plans!
HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, which is the secure version of HTTP. HTTPS is the HTTP protocol encrypted over a secure SSL connection. HTTPS prevents attacks from hackers and eavesdroppers, and keeps data confidential.
In simple terms, an SSL certificate encrypts and decrypts data passed between your website and the browser. This prevents attackers from eavesdropping on your visitors' information.
Through an encrypted HTTPS connection, a website visitor accesses a website with an installed SSL certificate. A secure SSL connection is then requested from the website host, and the website host sends back a valid SSL certificate. As a secure connection between the browser and the host is established, the transfer of encrypted data is enabled.
SSL protects your visitors' information by encrypting and decrypting the data that is transmitted. This is critical for websites where sensitive information is being transmitted, such as through contact forms, online checkouts, or online booking.
An SSL certificate boosts visitor confidence. Web browsers, such as Google Chrome (which holds approximately 60% of web browser users worldwide), have now made HTTPS the standard. With secure SSL, visitors see that a site connection is secure in the browser, whereas they will see that a "connection is not secure" in the browser if the website is missing an SSL certificate. Website visitors are led to trust websites with SSL, leading to more conversions and better customer engagement.
Search engines, such as Google, heavily favor websites that are served through HTTPS, boosting your search engine ranking.
SSL security is important for your website's protection and trust, which is why Website.com offers SSL certificates with all of our premium website builder subscription plans!
Websites without SSL are visible online but will be served over a non-encrypted HTTP connection. Hackers and attackers can easily intercept the information being passed between your website and the web browser.
Websites that are not served through HTTPS will be marked as "not secure" in the browser, which could cause website visitors to question your website's validity.
Search engines, such as Google also use SSL certificates as a ranking factor, so a website without an SSL certificate could decrease its overall search engine ranking.
