\"SSL
\nAn SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a technology used to protect data that is transferred over the internet. SSL is used to ensure data confidentiality, authentication, integrity, and non-repudiation. It is commonly used to protect confidential information like credit card numbers, usernames, and passwords.
\nHaving an SSL Certificate installed on your website is a must for any website that collects sensitive information from its users. It is an important part of website security, as it ensures the data is encrypted when it is transferred from the user’s browser to your server. This helps protect against data theft or any type of malicious attack. It also helps improve SEO rankings, as major search engines consider websites with SSL security to be more trustworthy and thus rank them higher.
\nIf you have an SSL installed and the padlock is not displaying you can visit Why No Padlock?<\/a> to see the reason why. If you are still stuck then please contact us<\/a> and we can sort it for you. All websites using our nameservers and hosting through Full Fat Hosting<\/a> receive a free SSL with their hosting package.
\nLastly, since it offers an additional layer of safety, an SSL Certificate can also help you build trust with your customers, as they know their data is secure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
