SSL certificates and their importance
Protected website
The SSL certificate ensures that the website is secure and that there is no danger when sending confidential information (personal data, account numbers, etc.). With it your customers will feel protected and you will gain new customers too.
Improve SEO
Google, like all other search engines, likes secure websites. Having your website with a security certificate will benefit you in SEO positioning and your potential customers will find you more easily.
Maximum security
We want your customers to feel secure. The information is therefore transmitted in encrypted form. The data remains hidden during its transfer and only the intended recipient can decode it.
Visible elements in the browser
Your SSL certificate will be visible to your customers. The secure protocol https://, a padlock and, in the case of the EV SSL certificate, a green bar, will be displayed in the address bar of your website.
Avoid errors in Chrome and Firefox
With your SSL certificate, you will avoid your website being displayed as a non-secure site by the Chrome and Firefox browsers; otherwise, who would want to visit your website? Please contact us if you have any questions about this.
It builds trust among your users and improves your sales
It is hard to gain trust but easy to lose it. Having a secure website is one of the formulas to improve your sales. Offer your customers a secure environment with SSL certificates and gain their trust to complete forms or methods of payment.

Why is security important on your website?
Google gives preference to secure sites
An SSL certificate provides security to visitors to your website, i.e., it confirms that a website is trustworthy and secure, both for its browsing and for the processing and use of personal data, as all the information exchanged between the user and server is encrypted.
But this is not all, there is another fundamental reason why it is Positiveto have the SSL security certificate on your website: SEO. Your website will be a friend of the search engines, your SEO will not be harmed and you will climb positions in the search engine. Otherwise, they will mark it as a non-secure site.
It is a question of trust
It is vital that the user feels assured and secure on your website. As it is a security indicator that is visible to all, it gives users great confidence.
In addition, the user experience will improve considerably, since your customers will browse with the security that their data will not be filtered at any time.
FAQs about SSL certificates
What is an SSL certificate?
SSL is an acronym that stands for Secure Sockets Layer. To put it more simply, it is the standard technology for maintaining a secure Internet connection, and protecting any confidential information sent between two systems and preventing criminals from reading and modifying any data that is transferred, including information that could be considered personal.
How can I contract a security certificate?
Easy! In your Control Panel you have access to the management of the hosting where you want to install the certificate; access the "SSL certificates" icon and activate the Let’s Encrypt free certificate. You can click on "Request an SSL certificate", where you can choose between different types of certificates (PositiveSSL, PositiveSSL Wildcard, Premium SSL or EV SSL). If you do not know which certificate is right for you, contact us and we will help you. Once you have chosen it, follow and complete the purchasing process and one of our technicians will then contact you to help you with the installation.
How can I obtain a security certificate?
A security certificate conveys trust and assurance, and must be issued by a certification authority that will validate the documentation you provide. The documentation requested for the processing of a digital security certificate can vary depending on the type of certificate. Choose the certificate that best suits your needs from the control panel. It’s as easy as that!
What is the payment or renewal period for an SSL certificate?
The payment or renewal period for a security certificate is annual. It is vital that the customer feels secure and assured on your website, so don’t wait any longer and install an SSL certificate on your website.
What type of certificate do I need?
It all depends on your needs, i.e. if you need to certify only the domain, the domain and various subdomains or the domain and the organisation. You can see the detailed characteristics of each certificate in the SSL Certificates table. However, if you are not sure about which one to choose, you can contact us and we will advise you with whatever you need.
What differences are there between the free Let’s Encrypt certificate and one you have to pay for?
Let's Encrypt is a fast, useful and simple certificate that validates the WWW domain and subdomain. However, SSL certificates you have to pay for include advantages that will build extra trust in your customers. Some of these certificates allow you to validate different subdomains, the organisation or may include insurance coverage to cover certain damage produced during their period of use, due to negligence by the company issuing the certificate (subject to the terms and conditions of the company issuing the certificate). We will be delighted to help you if you have any further queries.
What must I do to make my website https secure?
Once the certificate is active, you must configure your website so it is compatible with the HTTPS format. To do this you can modify the .htaccess file so that when someone clicks on http://www.domain.com, they will automatically be redirected to https://www.domain.com. You can see how to do this by clicking here. In some CMS such as WordPress or PrestaShop, there are plug-ins to make these types of modifications simply.
