Why SSL Certificates for your Website are important.
We recently switched over to Amazon for our clients Website hosting. With the benefits of having a cloud server we also are making SSL Certificates apart of all of our Website hosting packages.
Most think that SSL Certificates are only required for ecommerce Websites that accept peoples payment information. Well that is no longer true anymore. Each year Google changes their Website ranking requirements. While keywords are no longer as significant as they once were, SSL Certificates on all websites will receive priority ranking.
The average SSL Certificate runs from $99-$300 depending on how much security your website requires. Most people have to pay for the website hosting and an annual fee for the SSL Certificate. The benefit of our package is that SSL Certificates fee is already included in our annual fee.
Benefits of an SSL Certificate:
- Our SSLs use 2048-bit encryption to protect sensitive data. It’s the strongest encryption and it is virtually uncrackable.
- SSL Certificates protect your customers' sensitive information by encrypting the data they send to you, then decrypting it once you’ve received it.
- The green lock in the your browser bar and the "S" in https mean your website is secure in every language.
- Google favors HTTPS-encrypted websites and will push them higher in search results. So an SSL not only protects your customers but helps you find more of them.
- Selling items on your website is easier ell to a much larger audience you need to give customers the payment options they prefer — AND an SSL to keep them clicking through to checkout.
