Why SSL

Visitors notice the difference.

Browsers flag sites without HTTPS. A certificate turns that warning into a padlock.

Without SSL Visitors see a warning and leave
With SSL Visitors see the padlock and stay

  • Data encryption

    Passwords and payment details stay private between visitor and server.

  • Trust and credibility

    The padlock makes visitors more likely to stay, sign up and buy.

  • Phishing protection

    Proves your site is really yours, so impostors are easier to spot.

  • Better SEO

    Search engines favour secure sites, helping you rank higher.

  • Compliance

    GDPR and PCI DSS expect encryption. SSL is a key part of meeting them.

  • Browser ready

    No more Not Secure warning in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge.

I manage over 50 domains for my company and SSLChange has been a lifesaver. Wildcard support means I can secure all subdomains with a single certificate.
