When your SSL Certificate is issued, we’ll send you a Welcome email with easy instructions. After activation, the timescale for complete setup will depend on the type of Validation level you choose i.e. it varies between 10 minutes and 10 days for the Certificate Authority to perform checks.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an updated version of SSL. We sell TLS, but most people still call it SSL because that’s the term everyone knows. TLS is a little more secure, so businesses like banks will insist on it, but for most websites it doesn’t make much of a difference. Our Certificates are compatible with both SSL and TLS protocols.

When people type your site’s domain name into their browser, the encryption confirmation will be a visible padlock and ‘https://’. You’ll also get a Site Seal to put on your website. If you want even more customer trust, OV and EV SSL Certificates verify your company is legit, not just your domain name.

Because Google lists websites that aren’t encrypted by SSLs as “Not secure”, and ranks them lower than sites that are protected, every site owner needs one. SSL Certificates increase SEO, protect your customers, and let them know they can trust your platform.
