Comparing Paid vs. Free SSL Certificates
At HostSeller, our free SSL is just as secure as the paid ones. We use a domain-validated certificate that complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), making it a reliable SSL solution for protecting all types of websites.
When it comes to security, there’s no difference between free and paid SSL certificates. Both offer strong encryption to ensure a secure connection between your site and its visitors.
They also feature important indicators, such as the HTTPS prefix and the padlock icon in the address bar of major browsers, to show that your website is secure.
Additionally, we automatically renew all certificates at no extra cost, providing more convenience for our users.
Why Is an SSL/TLS Certificate Essential?
SSL-Enabled Websites Are Secure
By adding an SSL to your site, you safeguard all private information exchanged between you and your visitors from unauthorized access. Additionally, our SSL certificates utilize 256-bit encryption, the industry standard for data security.
Ensure PCI DSS Compliance
Online businesses that process transactions and handle visitors’ credentials must adhere to PCI Security Standards, which mandate SSL protection. Without this security measure, the website would jeopardize visitor safety and fail to comply with regulations.
Establish Trust
By enabling SSL protection, your site’s URL will begin with HTTPS, and a padlock icon will appear in the browser. These indicators reassure visitors that your website is secure, ensuring their credentials and transaction details are protected.
Boost Your Google Ranking
SSL adds an extra layer of security and displays the HTTPS prefix in the site’s URL, which search engines consider essential for a positive page experience. As a result, Google is more likely to rank SSL-certified websites higher in search results, boosting their visibility and organic traffic.
Creating a Connection
After acquiring or purchasing an SSL certificate, websites receive a public and private key. When users visit the site, their browser requests the public key to verify the website’s identity.
Data Encryption Process
Once verified, the browser sends an encrypted symmetric key to the server, which decrypts it using its private key. This establishes a secure, encrypted connection for data transfer.
Security Indicators
A website with SSL shows a padlock icon, HTTPS prefix, and may include a site seal to boost trust, ensuring visitors that their data is secure.
Free SSL Certificate FAQs
Get answers to common questions about SSL/TLS.
1. What Is an SSL Certificate?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a security protocol that encrypts the communication between a website and a web browser. It ensures that unauthorized parties cannot access or view the data exchanged between the site and its visitors.
SSL certificates are issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) to authenticate a website’s identity and indicate to browsers that the site is secure.
2. Why Do I Need an SSL Certificate?
SSL certificates provide enhanced security, boost brand trust, and improve search engine rankings. They signal to users and search engines that your website takes security seriously.
3. How Can I Tell if a Website Is Using SSL?
To check if a website has an SSL certificate, look for a padlock icon next to the URL and verify that the URL begins with “https://” rather than “http://”.
4. What Are the Different Types of SSL Certificates?
There are three types of SSL/TLS certificates based on their domain validation level:
- Domain-Validated (DV): The CA only verifies domain ownership before issuing the certificate.
- Organization-Validated (OV): In addition to domain validation, the CA verifies the organization’s name, contact details, and legal status.
- Extended Validation (EV): The highest level of verification, with a thorough background check of the registrant’s legal status, location, and other details.
SSL certificates can also vary based on the number of websites they protect:
- Single-Domain: Protects one domain and its subdirectories.
- Wildcard: Covers a domain and all its subdomains.
- Multi-Domain: Supports multiple unrelated domains.
5. Which SSL/TLS Certificate Should I Choose?
While all SSL/TLS certificates provide the same encryption level, some websites may require higher levels of validation for increased legitimacy or to secure multiple domains.
6. How Do I Get SSL for Free?
You can get a free SSL certificate when you purchase any hosting plan from HostSeller. It’s a perfect option for those signing up with a new web hosting provider and looking to set up their SSL/TLS certification without any extra cost.
7. How Long Does It Take for a Free SSL Certificate to Activate?
Typically, a new SSL certificate activates within minutes once installed. At HostSeller, free SSL certificates are automatically installed on any website you create with our hosting plans.
8. How to Renew an SSL/TLS Certificate?
To manually renew an SSL/TLS certificate, you need to generate a new SSL certificate signing request (CSR), complete the form, and install the new version.
At HostSeller, we offer automatic SSL certificate renewal for your convenience.
9. Does SSL Help with SEO?
Yes, SSL is a ranking factor for Google. Websites with SSL certificates are more likely to rank higher in search results, improving visibility.
10. Can I Install a Custom SSL Certificate on HostSeller?
Yes, you can install a custom SSL certificate on HostSeller. Simply follow the steps in our custom SSL certificate installation guide via the web hosting control panel.
