Display a safety padlock

Industry-standard encryption
SSL certificates are armed with 256-bit symmetric encryption, ensuring transactions and sensitive information are secure.
Warranties
Have peace of mind – if there's an issue on the certification authorities' side resulting in financial loss for you, rest assured, you're protected.
Establish trust and credibility
SSL certificates build trust by securing communication and offering visitors verified information about your business.
Improved SEO
Google encourages the use of HTTPS through an SSL certificate to provide better user security and privacy, enhancing search engine optimisation.
Compliance

The different types of SSL certificates.

Domain Validation SSL
Domain Validated (DV) SSL Certificates offer the simplest and fastest way to secure a domain. The validation process involves confirming ownership of the domain name and once this is demonstrated, the SSL certificate is immediately issued.
Extended Validation SSL
An Extended Validation (EV) certificate stands out as the top-tier SSL certificate, offering heightened assurance to customers by showcasing verified details of your organisation. In all major web browsers, EV SSL highlights your organisation's name in green on the address bar.
Wildcard DV
A Wildcard Certificate (Domain Validated) provides secure encryption for a domain and all of its subdomains. The validation process only involves confirming ownership of the main domain and offers a cost-effective and efficient way to secure websites with multiple subdomains under a single SSL certificate.
