SSL Certificates
What is an SSL Certificate?
SSL certificates are digital certificates used to encrypt information
sent between a website and a user. By encrypting the information
between the user and your website, you are assuring the client of a more
secure and therefore safe experience on your website. While certain businesses
do have a bigger need for SSL Certificates, such as online stores, the recent
announcement by Google that digital certificates now offer an SEO advantage makes
it a crucial addition to any modern website.
Which SSL Certificate is right for me?
There are three types of SSL certificates:
Domain Validation
This is the most basic type of SSL Certificate available.
They are easy and quick to obtain as no extra documents are needed.
The encryption provided is basic, but effective.
Domain Validated SSL certificates are generally the least expensive.
Fast to Set Up
Low Level of Trust
Organization Validation
These types of certificates require further validation and
authentication of the certificate owner. This provides added
peace of mind for your clients as they know the website they are
shopping on has been validated by a 3rd party.
Higher Level of Trust
Expensive

Cons:
Extended Validation
You do not get more trusted certificates than SSL Certificates with

validation of the business before issueing the certificate. Users using
a website with a certificate like this will have a very high sense of
security and trust.
