SSL certificates

Encrypt traffic, show the padlock in the browser, and protect logins, forms, and customer data with HTTPS.

Strong encryption

Modern TLS protects passwords, checkout flows, and any data sent to your server.

Visitor trust

Avoid “Not secure” warnings and reassure users your site is legitimate.

SEO & performance

HTTPS is a ranking signal and works with HTTP/2 for faster page delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need SSL for every website?

Yes. Browsers expect HTTPS today, even for simple brochure sites or blogs.

Can one SSL cover subdomains?

Use a wildcard or multi-domain (SAN) certificate if you need several hostnames under one cert.

How fast is issuance?

DV is usually fastest. OV and EV take longer because the organization is verified.
