SSL keeps your website and visitors safe by encrypting data. This guide explains what SSL is and why it is important for your website.
1. What is SSL?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts the information sent between your website and your visitors. This protects passwords, contact forms, and payment details.
2. How SSL Works
When SSL is enabled, your website uses HTTPS instead of HTTP and displays a lock icon in the browser.
3. Why SSL is Important
SSL builds trust, protects users, and improves your Google rankings. Most browsers warn users if a site is not secure.
4. SSL with Hostigo
Hostigo provides free SSL certificates with hosting so your website can be secured easily.
