What is an SSL certificate? An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate allows your customers or website visitors to have a 100% secure, encrypted connection with your site from their normal web browser. If you want to accept credit cards from your customers online, or if you want to collect sensitive data from your customers via your website, an SSL certificate is an absolute must.
In order for your site to support an SSL certificate, it must be on a dedicated IP address, which is included at no additional charge with our Reseller Hosting Accounts, as well as our Hostivia Pro hosting account. Or, if you purchase a Hostivia Business hosting account, we will provide you with your own private SSL certificate for FREE!
Hostivia has partnered with two of the industry leaders in SSL technology, GeoTrust and RapidSSL, to provide SSL Certificate for our customers. Plus, due to the volume of certificates we order each month, we are able to offer our customers a significant discount from normal retail prices!
