SSL Security
Create a secure website that builds trust with your customers (and with search engines) by getting an SSL certificate, free for the first 90 days. After that, it’s $9 per month.
What Is an SSL Certificate?
An SSL certificate is a digital credential that indicates that a website is safe to visit. Using encryption, SSL security ensures the information exchanged between a user and a website (think passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive data) can’t be intercepted by hackers. Without an SSL certificate, passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive data sent from a user to a website is vulnerable. Most browsers will warn users that a website without an SSL certificate isn’t secure.

Why Does My Website Need SSL Security?
Your website needs an SSL certificate to keep visitor data safe and, as a result, build trust with your customers. But SSL certificates help to build trust with search engines, too, which can help your site’s placement in search results.
Protect Data
Credit card numbers, passwords, login info–all of this information is vulnerable while in transit between a web browser and a website. SSL encrypts the data, making it impossible for bad actors to decode.
Build Trust
When people visiting your website see that its secured with SSL, they’re more likely to trust your website (and by extension, your business) with their information or money.
Search Engine Optimization
Search engines privilege websites that use SSL security. This means that an SSL certificate can help your website appear higher up on results pages (and drive more traffic to your website).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an SSL certificate 100% secure?
SSL security helps protect information while it’s in transit, but it doesn’t prevent other kinds of security threats, like viruses, malware, or bugs in the code. An SSL certificate is an important piece of a broader security strategy.
What will happen if a website doesn’t have SSL?
The information your uses enter into your website (like passwords or credit card numbers) will be transmitted in plain text, easily read by anyone trying to intercept it. What’s more, your website will likely alert users to the fact that the website is not secure, which will affect how consumers view your business.
How do I renew my SSL certificate?
It depends on your service provider. Some providers require you to make plans to renew your certificate before its expiration date. Our service renews automatically every month, so you don’t have to worry about it expiring. You can cancel from within your client account.
