Choose the Right SSL Certificate for Your Needs
Whether you’re running a small blog, an e-commerce site, or a large enterprise, there’s an SSL certificate that fits your requirements. From basic Domain Validated (DV) certificates to Organization Validated (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) certificates, each type offers varying levels of trust and assurance.
Enhanced Security
SSL certificates encrypt the data transmitted between your website and your visitors, ensuring that sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details, and personal data are protected from hackers and cybercriminals. This encryption is vital for maintaining the privacy and integrity of your visitors’ information.
Increased Trust and Confidence
When visitors see that your site is secured with an SSL certificate, they know that their information is safe. The padlock icon in the address bar and the “https://” prefix signal to users that your site is authentic and trustworthy, fostering a sense of security and reliability.
Improved SEO Rankings
Search engines like Google prioritize websites with SSL certificates, giving them a higher ranking in search results. This means that securing your site can not only protect your visitors but also improve your visibility and drive more traffic to your site.
Compliance with Standards and Regulations
Many regulatory bodies and industry standards require the use of SSL certificates to protect data. By implementing SSL, you ensure compliance with these regulations, avoiding potential fines and legal issues while demonstrating your commitment to data protection.
Safeguard Against Phishing Attacks
SSL certificates help prevent attackers from creating a fake version of your site. Visitors can trust that they are interacting with the legitimate website, reducing the risk of falling victim to phishing scams.

How to install your SSL Certificate.
From personalized service recommendations to comprehensive help documentation, Discover what our VPS Offers.
01
Get your SSL Certificate
Choose a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) to purchase your SSL certificate. Many hosting providers also offer SSL certificates as part of their services.
02
Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
On your web server, generate a CSR. This request contains your public key and your domain information, which will be used by the CA to create your SSL certificate.
03
Submit the CSR to the Certificate Authority
Submit your CSR to the CA. They will verify your information and issue your SSL certificate. This process may take a few minutes to a few days, depending on the type of certificate you purchase.
04
Install the SSL Certificate on Your Server
Once you receive your SSL certificate from the CA, install it on your web server. This process varies depending on your server type (e.g., Apache, Nginx, Microsoft IIS).
05
Configure Your Server to Use the SSL Certificate
Update your server configuration to use the SSL certificate. This typically involves modifying your server’s configuration files to point to the SSL certificate and key files.
06
Update Your Website to Use HTTPS
Update your website to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. This includes updating your site’s URL, redirecting HTTP traffic to HTTPS, and updating any hard-coded links to use HTTPS.
07
Test Your SSL Configuration
Use online tools to test your SSL configuration and ensure that everything is set up correctly. These tools can help you identify any potential issues and verify that your SSL certificate is properly installed.

FAQ
Web hosting is a service that makes your website available on the internet. The hosting service provides a secure online space to store your website’s files: the code, images, text, and other content. Simply put, you need a hosting plan to make your site up and accessible for everyone.
The most popular website hosting services for both personal and business use include:
- Shared hosting. Multiple websites are hosted on a single server, and each user gets a certain amount of storage space and resources. It is the most affordable hosting solution, making it an excellent choice for beginners and bloggers.
- WordPress hosting. It works similarly to shared hosting. The difference is, Managed WordPress hosting companies offer plenty of tools and features to optimize your WordPress website for speed and performance, and facilitate site maintenance.
- VPS hosting. This type of web hosting service divides a physical server into several virtual machines, powering each user with dedicated resources and full root access. Virtual private server (VPS) hosting plans are more geared toward tech-savvy users who need more power and control.
- Cloud hosting. In this setup, websites run on multiple virtual servers, reducing possible downtime and hardware failure. Cloud hosting plans are ideal if you need stable website uptime and performance, for example, if you are a freelancer web developer with many clients.
