What is an SSL certificate?

An SSL certificate authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. SSL is a security protocol that creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser.
SSL keeps internet connections secure and prevents others from modifying or reading information transferred between systems. You can tell a site is SSL protected when you see a padlock icon next to the URL in the address bar.
Companies and organizations need to add SSL certificates to their websites to secure online transactions and keep customer information private and secure.
We do offer a free certificate when you register or transfer a domain to DomainSpot.
