Why Do I Need A Private SSL Certificate?

Any website that requests a customer’s personal information or takes credit card payments should have a private SSL certificate. The extra protection that a private SSL certificate adds to your website is necessary to safeguard consumers’ confidential information. A private SSL ensures that the host server maintains the confidentiality of all the data transmitted from your website. Encrypting the data and turning on the browser’s secure lock accomplish this.

Only your website is granted a private SSL certificate.

When a visitor tries to access your website over a secure connection (HTTPS), a warning notice appears. This can be avoided if you have installed a private SSL certificate on the website.
