Security on the Internet is important and is becoming ever more important in the face of increasing cybercrime! SSL certificates are a central component of a security concept for websites and domains. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. SSL certificates guarantee the authenticity of a website through a special validation and issuing process carried out by the Certificate Authority. In this article, we would like to compare and contrast free certificates with fee-based products.
There’s a lot of good reason for websites to provide a secure and encrypted connection. Security is on people’s minds as soon as any digital data is transmitted and having as many as possible websites providing encryption is adding to global web security.
Public facing websites as well as any other services should use SSL Certificates to provide encryption and to guarantee smooth and seamless operation without being challenged by nasty browser error messages complaining that the connecting is not secure.
