What’s all the fuss about SSLs?
Worth the hype, tbh.
Why? Because without one, you and your customers’ personal info can be intercepted during transmission to or from your site. Yikes. Plus many web browsers will flag a website as "not secure" unless it detects that it has a valid SSL certificate. Double yikes.
SSL certificates are really standard practice these days, so if you don’t have one yet, make today the day. Your website, visitors, reputation, and search ranking will ALL thank you.

The "https” in your domain will show visitors they’re safe to be there.

Is the free SSL certificate really free?
Sure is! This SSL is included at no extra charge when you purchase a hosting account.
How does an SSL certificate actually work?
For starters, a little “handshake" of sorts takes place between the hosting server and visiting web browser, which initiates the secure connection. A "session key" is then employed to encrypt all data transmitted between server and browser.
Where can I learn more about what an SSL certificate is?
Our Knowledge Base has many articles that fully explain the intricacies of SSL certificates, what they are, how they work, and the various differences. The best place to begin would be here.
