What is an SSL certificate?
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, and it’s a standard security technology for establishing encrypted connections over the Internet. Websites utilize SSL technology in the form of an SSL certificate, which is a small digital file that secures the connection between your computer’s web browser and the website stored on a server.
You can tell a website has an SSL certificate when you see a green lock symbol that shows in the address bar just before your websites domain and it uses “HTTPS” at the beginning of the URL, versus just “HTTP” which is on it’s way to becoming obsolete in favor of safe, secure and verifiable websites that are certified by SSL certificates.

How much will the SSL cost?
Why does my site need an SSL certificate?
Previously, having an SSL certificate was only important for sites that contained sensitive information, such as eCommerce sites, financial institutions and payment processing sites. However, with the growth of the Internet and the power of search engines like Google, it is now recommended for all websites to be secure. It not only protects payment information but also personal information such as name, address and email.
Google has confirmed that SSL certificates are a ranking factor. HTTPS sites often have a boost in ranking over HTTP sites. In addition, if using the Chrome browser, forms on web pages without an SSL certificate are now marked as “not secure.”
