Website Security (SSL)

What is SSL

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. Basically, when a visitor on your site submits confidential information to your website, you don't want someone to be able to intercept that information, so you encrypt it with SSL.

When do I need SSL

There are certain types of websites that an SSL is required for such as an e-Commerce solution that is accepting credit cards. But the typical rule of thumb is that whenever you are submitting any type of personal information such as social security numbers, credit card info, medical history, or anything else that can be used against someone, you need an SSL.

How do I get SSL
