The Science of Data Security
If you're collecting private and personal data on your website, the first thing you have to do is give your customers the confidence. And one of the best ways to do that is with a reputable SSL certificate from a respectable brand.
When you first do a domain registration for your business domain name, you're buying the rights to use a given URL for your website. In many cases, you'll still need to point the DNS to your web host before your site can go live.
However, up to this point, there is still no security function to encrypt the data passing through your website. That's where a SSL certificate provides you with the protection you need.
Depending on the level of security standards your business requires, we provide a range of options depending on the level of security you want to provide for your customers. A higher level of security naturally gives them the confidence to trust your site with their credit card details, their passwords, their orders, their transactions, and much more.
Our SSL certificates are therefore designed for 256 Bit Encryption, the highest levels of encryption on all data passing through your website
Our Certificate Authority
One common misunderstanding new website owners believe in is they rely on a cheap SSL certificate for their online business security. Sure, it may make sense for a purely informational business, but when your website is handling thousands of dollars every day, security becomes of the utmost importance.
That means purchasing a certificate trusted by the majority of websites, trusted by the various web browsers, and trusted by your users.
What makes our certificates different from the standard versions issued is the additional security and peace of mind they deliver.
As most website owners are familiar with, hacking and other forms of brute force attacks are a common occurrence on the website. As a web host provider, our goal is to support you and your customers. That's where each of our certs retain a warranty value which works as a form of insurance up to a certain amount should there ever be an instance where your data is ever compromise.
These are unlikely events, but it is a safety precaution as accidents do happen. And in the online world, it increases as a website becomes more profitable.
More Than Just Encryption
One of the simplest ways to tell if your site has a valid SSL certificate is to observe the URL in your browser. A website that has a functioning cert will display a HTTPS before the domain instead of the standard HTTP, with the "S" signifying secure.
In some browsers, this is further symbolised by a grey or green padlock to indicate to web visitors that the connection is secured. Data is now securely transmitted from the server (back end where information is stored) to the end goal - the web browser.
Without an active encryption service in place, most web browsers will display warning indicators informing web visitors that the connection isn't secure and their information might be at risk. This simple warning might scare users, stopping them from filling up your enquiry forms and entering their payment details.
The Benefits of an EV Certificate
To give your customers a higher degree of credibility and trust in your website, the highest class of SSL will work wonders in online confidence building. The EV (Extended Validation) cert goes a step further than just displaying the padlock, customers will also see your company name in the address bar. Plus, the address is displayed in green which makes it stand out even more.
