How do SSL Certificates work?

SSL certificates encrypt data and ensure secure communication between users and servers.

When a user visits an SSL-secured website, their browser initiates a secure connection request. The server responds by providing its SSL certificate. The SSL protocol then encrypts the data, ensuring sensitive information—such as passwords and credit card details—remains protected from hackers.

The browser runs a validation process on the SSL certificate by checking its authenticity, expiration, and issuing certificate authority. If the certificate is deemed valid, a secure session is established, assuring users that the website is legitimate and safe for transactions.

All data exchanged between the user's browser and the website is securely encrypted. A padlock icon appears in the address bar, and "https://" replaces "http://". This boosts SEO rankings, strengthens security, and prevents browser warnings that could otherwise deter visitors.

SSL Certificate FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about SSL certificates.

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that encrypts the data exchanged between a user's browser and a web server, ensuring secure communication over https protocol. It helps protect sensitive and confidential information, such as passwords and payment details, from cyber threats.

An SSL certificate is important for all websites to ensure communication between your server and its visitors is secure. SSL certificates help to build trust and user confidence, improve your search engine optimisation, enable compliance with various regulations such as GDPR and PCI-DSS and prevent browser warnings, ensuring you maintain trust, and credibility online.

There are several different certificate types that we offer, each with their own benefits:

  • Domain Validation SSL Certificates verify ownership of the domain name only. The certificate authority only checks that the requestor controls the domain. DV certificates are issued in minutes, and are best suited for personal websites or blogs where a high level of trust isn't required.
  • Organisation Validation SSL Certificates: OV certificates validate both ownership of the domain and the organisation's identity. The CA verifies the organisations information, including name, address, as a result of these additional checks, OV SSL certificates are usually issued within a few days.
  • Extended Validation SSL Certificates: EV certificates offer the highest level of security and trust by verifying the organisation's legal identity and domain ownership. The CA conducts a rigorous vetting process verifying the business registration, legal existence and physical address. These certificates are best for ecommerce websites, financial institutions and any business needing to instill a high level of trust. Typically extended validation SSL certificates are issued within 1-5 days due to the extensive verification process.

A Wildcard SSL certificate is a type of SSL/TLS certificate that secures a domain and all its subdomains under a single certificate. Instead of issuing separate SSL certificates for each subdomain, a wildcard SSL certificate covers a domain and all its subdomains (e.g., example.com, sub.example.com).

Our SSL certificates are valid for 1 year.

Yes, providers like Let's Encrypt offer free SSL certificates, but they may require frequent renewals and manual setup. Free SSL Certificates by LetsEncrypt are included in our cPanel and Plesk hosting services.

Paid SSLs often offer extended validation, warranty protection, and customer support, making them an ideal choice for businesses.
