SSL Certificates

Secure your website with SSL

Protect your visitors with encrypted communication and increase trust in your website.

SSL certificates secure communication between you and your visitors by ensuring no one else can read data exchanged between them and your site. In 2024, SSL is no longer an extra feature – it's the minimum standard for all professional websites.

Benefits of SSL

Better search engine ranking

Google, Bing and other search engines give websites with SSL higher rankings. SSL is now an important factor for SEO.

Required for GDPR and privacy

SSL/TLS is legally required under GDPR for websites handling personal data. Encrypts all communication and protects sensitive information.

Increased visitor trust

Browsers display a padlock icon that gives visitors confidence. HTTP/2 over HTTPS often provides better performance than old HTTP/1.1.

Mandatory for e-commerce

PCI-DSS requires SSL for all websites accepting payments. Without SSL, you cannot legally process card payments.

SSL is legally required

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): Article 32 requires appropriate security measures, including encryption, for websites handling personal data. SSL is the minimum requirement.

PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry): Requirement 4.1 mandates encryption of card data during transmission. All websites accepting payment cards MUST use SSL.

⚠ Lack of SSL can lead to data breach liability, fines, and loss of customer trust.

When do you need SSL?

If your website collects any form of customer information – including payment information, email addresses or passwords, you need to ensure this type of data is completely secure. Your visitors need SSL certificates when they:

  • Purchase products online
  • Register for newsletters
  • Sign up for a service
  • Log in to a member area
  • Fill out a form
  • Create a password
