Why Do I Need SSL?

• What is SSL?

  SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is an essential part of the technology used to create an encrypted and secure connection between the server and the browser. SSL helps to protect your site visitors' information. With SSL, when visitors visit your website, they'll see that your website is secure, rather than a warning message. Furthermore, as Google values SSL, you'll have a built-in SEO ranking boost!

  Doteasy recognizes the importance of SSL security for your website's protection and trust, which is why we offer a variety of SSL certificates - including free SSL - with all of our web hosting plans!

• What is HTTPS?

  HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, which is essentially the secure version of HTTP. In other words, HTTPS is the HTTP protocol, but encrypted over a secure SSL connection. HTTPS prevents "man in the middle" attacks from hackers and eavesdroppers.

• How does SSL work?

  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.

  For a more thorough explanation: with a secure HTTPS connection, a website visitor accesses a website with an SSL certificate installed. A secure SSL connection is then requested from the website host. The website host sends back a valid SSL certificate, and the secure and encrypted session can start. As the secure connection between the browser and the host is established, the transfer of encrypted data is enabled.

• What are the benefits of SSL?

  SSL protects your visitors' information by encrypting and decrypting the data that is transmitted. This is a necessity for websites where information is being transmitted, such as contact forms or online checkouts.

  You can increase visitor trust with an SSL certificate. As web browsers, such as Google Chrome (which holds approximately 60% of web browser users globally), are heavily pushing towards HTTPS, your HTTPS-enabled website are marked as "secure" in the browser. This can lead to an increased level of trust from your website visitors. Google and other browsers flag all websites without an SSL certificate as "Not Secure" in the browser. Increasing customer trust can lead to website conversions and better customer engagement.

  In addition to the security benefits of SSL, search engines, such as Google, heavily favor websites that are served through HTTPS. Therefore, your search engine ranking for your HTTPS-enabled web pages could benefit.

• Which SSL certificate should I choose?

  Free SSL included with all Doteasy web hosting plans are a cost-effective way to offer complete encryption for your websites. They are available for cPanel hosting features (for example, when building your website with WordPress, making a website with custom code or uploading website files through FTP). For Doteasy Unlimited Hosting plans and above, Free SSL is available for any add-on domains and subdomains. Free SSL is the budget-friendly SSL certificate to provide secure contact form transmissions and to boost customer trust.

  GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium is a premium SSL certificate that includes a dynamic security seal, proving to visitors that your website is secured and authenticated by a trusted third-party. Furthermore, when visitors click on the lock icon in the browser, they can see that your SSL certificate was issued by the trusted name, GeoTrust. GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium is a great choice to increase confidence among your website visitors and customers.

  The GeoTrust TrueBusinessID with EV SSL Certificate offers the highest level of trust, as well as a warranty of up to $1.5M USD to ensure successful protection and encryption. Extended Validation (EV) is the highest form of SSL on the market, as it requires the website owner to pass a comprehensive verification process. Visitors view an EV SSL certificate as an indicator of utmost trust. If you prioritize customer confidence, GeoTrust TrueBusinessID with EV is the recommended SSL certificate for large business websites and e-commerce websites.

  For websites built with the Website.com website builder, SSL can be installed and maintained at an affordable monthly cost. GeoTrust SSL options are also compatible with websites built using the website builder.

• What happens if I don't have SSL?

  Websites without SSL are visible online and can be loaded in browsers, but will be served over a non-encrypted HTTP connection. This means that hackers and attackers are able to 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 you to lose the trust of your website visitors.

  Search engines, such as Google, also use SSL as a ranking factor, which means that a website without an SSL certificate could decrease its overall search engine ranking.
