What is SSL and why does it matter?

SSL (now TLS) encrypts traffic between the visitor's browser and your server. Without SSL, passwords, payment details and any form input are exposed. Google flags non-HTTPS sites as "not secure" and browsers block them on form pages.

Free vs paid SSL

Let's Encrypt (free) — Domain Validation, encryption identical to any paid cert. Right for 99% of sites.
OV/EV certificates (paid) — for organizations that need extended company validation. Get in touch for pricing.
Wildcard — covers every subdomain. Also free via Let's Encrypt on our accounts.
