What is an SSL Certificate?

An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a website and encrypts the data transmitted between the website and the user's browser. SSL certificates are used to secure online transactions, protect sensitive information, and establish trust between the website and its users.

Why is an SSL Certificate Important?

Having an SSL certificate installed on your website is crucial because it encrypts the data transmitted between the site and users' browsers, safeguarding sensitive information like login credentials, credit card details, and personal data. It also helps establish trust, signaling to visitors that the website is secure and legitimate. SSL certificates contribute to better search engine rankings, as platforms like Google prioritize secure websites in their search results.

Do I need a paid SSL Certificate?

Paid SSL certificates do offer additional features and higher levels of validation but free SSL certificates like Let's Encrypt and Zero SSL provide the same level of encryption and security. Let's Encrypt certificates are widely used and trusted, which make it a popular choice for many websites, Even our website uses Let's Encrypt certificates.

Any hosting provider will provide the Let's Encrypt SSL certification installation automatically. If you are using your own server you can use free tools like Certbot to install SSL certificates.
