What is an SSL certificate?
SSL (secure sockets layer) certificates are data files that create a secure link between a website and a visitor’s browser. When they are installed in a web server they activate the padlock and the https protocol and allow secure connection from a web server to a browser. An SSL certificate binds together the server name, domain name and the organization’s identity. Websites which are secure use HTTPS protocol (secure HTTP) instead of HTTP protocol.
Why you need an SSL certificate
You need an SSL certificate to keep sensitive information passed across your website a user’s browser encrypted so that only the intended person receives the information. This helps to protect user’s confidential information from being tampered with or read by hackers and web crashers, you create confidence in your website users as they get sure that any information that they send to you will not be tampered with.
Types of SSL certificates
There are many types of SSL certificates that differ with the way and the services they give; like level of encryption and the ability to cover many domains and subdomains.
-Single domain SSL certificate. Covers only one domain.
-Wildcard SSL certificate. Covers several subdomains and can include limited or unlimited number of subdomains.
-Multi domain SSL certificates. Cover large number of domains in the same server and are suitable when one is hosting several domains in the server.
-Organization validates certificates. Confirm that the secured domain name belongs to the said owner or organization, thus giving higher level of trust.
