What is an SSL Certificate and why is it important?

SSL certificates are what enable websites to move from HTTP to HTTPS, which is more secure. An SSL certificate is a data file hosted in a website's origin server.

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a bit of code on your web server that provides security for online communications by creating an encrypted connection between your web server and your visitors' web browser.

Hi Friends,

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. Any computer can see your important credential information like Credit Card numbers, phone numbers, and passwords. To prevent this, we need an SSL Certificate. With SSL Certificate all this information is hidden and is no more readable by the computer.

After installing an SSL certificate, you'll see a lock with https:// protocol right at the beginning of your domain name.

SSL is essential for protecting your website, even if it doesn't handle sensitive information.  It provides privacy, critical security and data integrity for both your websites and your users' personal information.
